Fresh and dried fruit
Fresh fruit:
• Wash and pit or core fruit. If you
prefer, peel and slice it.
• Cook fruit in the steamer or pasta
basket on the support trivet and add at
least ½ a cup of water or fruit juice.
• Never fill the pressure cooker to more
than two thirds of its capacity.
• If you prefer, add sugar and/or
seasoning to the fruit before or after
cooking.
• When you cook whole or halved fruit,
use the cold water or automatic release
method. When you cook fruit in slices
or pieces to make purée or conserve
use the natural release method.
• Cooking times can vary depending on
the ripeness of the fruit.
Dried fruit:
• Put dried fruit in the pressure cooker
with 1 cup of water or fruit juice for
each cup of dried fruit.
• If you prefer, you can add seasoning
or other flavoring. Use the cold water
or automatic release method when
the cooking period is complete. If
after the cooking period the fruit is still
hard, let it simmer in the cooker with
the lid removed until it is ready. Add
water if necessary.
