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).
