Sauces/Jams/Relishes - Amana RSBG669T Use And Care Manual

Sauces, Jams and Relishes Cooking Guidelines
1. Use the size container recommended in recipes
to avoid boil-overs.
2. Sauces can be cooked directly in glass
measures, for convenience. A glass measure
should not be more than half-filled to avoid boil-
overs.
3. Cover sauces, jams, or relishes as
recommended in the recipes. Use a glass lid or
heavy-duty plastic wrap. Remove these
coverings away from self to avoid steam burns.
Keep hot pads near. Sugar mixtures can
become hot during cooking.

distinct drops that run together and sheet from
edge of spoon.

into sterilized jars and sealed with paraffin and
stored in refrigerator.
