Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good
condition for making preserves.
Only use sterilised jars with twist-off lids and up to a
maximum capacity of 250 ml.
After pouring in the fruit, clean the rim of the jar with a clean
cloth and hot water.
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but thoroughly and allow it to
drain. Take great care when cleaning soft fruit as it is very
delicate and squashes easily.
Remove any stalks, cores or stones.
Purée the fruit as otherwise the preserve will not set.
Add jam sugar to the fruit (according to packet instructions)
and stir well.
For sweet fruit and berries you should also add some citric
acid.
^ Fill jars maximum 2/3 full.
^ Place the jars without their lids on in a perforated container
or on the rack.
^ At the end of the programme take the jars out of the oven
using oven gloves. Leave them to stand for 1 - 2 minutes
before sealing them with twist off lids and then leave them
to cool.
