Preserving - Zanussi VH401H Instructions For The Use & Care

Preserving
1. Do not use a pan that overlaps the
perimeter of the hob trim.
2. Toallow for a full rolling boil, the pan
should be no more than one third full
when all the ingredients have been
added. It is better to use two pans
rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash
well before using. |
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam,
however granulated sugar is cheaper
and gives egually good flavour.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is
not completely dissolved before
bringing jam to the boil. Over boiling
will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour.
6. To test for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil
jam to 104°C. Marmalade should be
boiled to 106°C. If a thermometer is
not available, remove pan from heat,
place sample of jam on acold dish and
cool quickly (i.e. ina freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a
refrigerator). When cold, it will crinkle
and hold the mark of a finger run
through it, if it is ready.
7. Remove scum as soon as the jam begins
to cool but to prevent the fruit or peel
rising, do not pot the jam until it is
almost cold.
8. Remove soilage from sugar solutions on
ceramic glass hobs before the syrup has
set otherwise subseguent damage ofthe
glass ceramic surface will occur.
