30Uses, Tables and Tips

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).
