Preserves

STERILIZING JARS

Jam jars can be sterilized by microwave ready for your jams. Half fill with water and heat them on HIGH power until water boils (approx. 3 mins. for 2 jars). Empty and drain upside down on kitchen paper. The jars should be warm when filled with jam.

If you wish to cook larger quantities than given in the recipes below, revert to the traditional hob method, using a traditional recipe.

DISH SIZE

Always use a very large pyrex bowl. DO NOT attempt to use jam pans or saucepans in your microwave.

DO NOT LEAVE JAMS UNATTENDED DURING COOKING BECAUSE OF THE HIGH SUGAR CONTENT.

COVERING

Do not cover preserves whilst cooking, apart from if recommended in the recipe.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILIZE BABIES’ BOTTLES.

(See details on page 27)

DO NOT SEAL PRESERVING JARS IN YOUR MICROWAVE.

SETTING POINT

To determine whether setting point is reached, place a couple of drops of jam or marmalade on a cold saucer (put one in the fridge whilst making the jam). Leave to cool. The jam should wrinkle on the surface when your finger pushes across the top.
