Jams and Sweet Items
The microwave oven is perfect for cooking sweet or rich food items quickly. It allows you to make small quantities of jam with fresh or frozen fruit without having to get out the large jam pan.
•Always use a large Pyrex® container, a lot larger than the volume of fruit or caramel to be cooked, to avoid any spillage.
•DO NOT cover the jam during cooking.
•To check how cooked your jam is, pour a few drops of the mixture onto a saucer which you have kept in the fridge. If the jam goes solid or the caramel goes hard, you can stop cooking.
•You can also sterilise your jam jars by half filling them with water and heating them on MAX until the water boils. Empty them out and leave them
