Making preserves

Oven function: Bottom heat

For preserving, use only commercially avail- able 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 po- sition 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 bak- ing 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).
