Making Preserves
Oven function: Bottom heat
•
For preserving, use only commercially 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 touching
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 temperature to 100°C (see
table).
