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, use the first shelf position from the bottom.
•
Use the baking tray 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 in the first jars starts to simmer (after approx. 35-60
minutes for 1 litre jars), switch off the oven or adjust the temperature to
100°C (see table).
