Making Preserves

Oven function: Base Heat Finishing

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 bot- tom.

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 tem- perature to 100°C (see table).
