Making preserves
Oven function: Base 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 pro-
duced 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).
