Question

canned fruits and other juicy items must be well ________ before being added or they will dillute the gelatine and weaken it​

Answer 1

drained

Step-by-step explanation:

When fruit is canned, the additional liquids are put in the can (fruit juices or water) to preserve it and keep the taste. Usually, the fruit is completely soaked and full of these liquids in the can.

When making any type of gelatine salads, it is very important to drain all these liquids first before adding the fruit. If there are additional liquids in the fruit, there will be too much water at the end which will cause gelatine to dilute. It won’t work properly with the additional water - the liquid will weaken, and then it won’t tighten the mass the way it should.
