Decomposition is caused by bacteria. The process of canning involves heating the product to kill the bacteria and then sealing it up in a sterile state. Some bacteria, such as botulism, can grow without air so if the canning is not done properly the food can spoil, sometimes not in a way you would notice immediately.

What is a preserve?

Well, the word preserve can mean a few things. In general it means to keep something for a long period of time.
