Making Preserves

Oven function: Bottom 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 produced 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).
