Making Preserves
Oven function: Bottom heat
•
For preserving, use only commercial-
ly available preserve jars of the same
size.
•
Jars with twist-off or bayonet
type lids and metal tins are not
suitable
.
•
When making preserves, the
first
shelf position from the bottom
is
the one most used.
•
Use the shelf for making preserves.
There is enough room on this for up
to six 1-litre preserving jars.
•
The jars should all be filled to the
same level and clamped shut.
•
Place the jars on the baking tray in
such a way that they are not touch-
ing each other.
•
Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into
the baking tray so that sufficient
moisture is produced in the oven.
•
As soon as the liquid starts to pearl
in the first jars (after about 35-
60 minutes with 1 litre jars), switch
the oven off or reduce the tempera-
ture to 100°C (see table).
