Fresh and dried fruit

Fresh fruit:

Wash and pit or core fruit. If you prefer, peel and slice it.

Cook fruit in the steamer or pasta basket on the support trivet and add at least ½ a cup of water or fruit juice.

Never fill the pressure cooker to more than two thirds of its capacity.

If you prefer, add sugar and/or seasoning to the fruit before or after cooking.

When you cook whole or halved fruit, use the cold water or automatic release method. When you cook fruit in slices or pieces to make purée or conserve use the natural release method.

Cooking times can vary depending on the ripeness of the fruit.

Dried fruit:

Put dried fruit in the pressure cooker with 1 cup of water or fruit juice for each cup of dried fruit.

If you prefer, you can add seasoning or other flavoring. Use the cold water or automatic release method when the cooking period is complete. If after the cooking period the fruit is still hard, let it simmer in the cooker with the lid removed until it is ready. Add water if necessary.
