Making Preserves
Oven function: Bottom heat
• For preserving, use only commercial-
ly 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 pre-
serves. 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 touch-
ing 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 temperature to
100°C (see table).
