Household items like vinegar, salt, sugar, and lemon juice can act as natural preservatives. Vinegar and lemon juice contain acids that inhibit bacterial growth, while salt draws moisture out of foods, slowing spoilage. Sugar can help preserve fruits in jams and jellies by creating an environment that is inhospitable to bacteria. These ingredients can be used in pickling, canning, or making preserves to extend the shelf life of various foods.
