You can preserve small portions of fruit
and vegetables in preserving jars with
your microwave. Prepare the jars in the
usual way.
Fill the jars up to 2 cm below the rim.
Close the jars with clear adhesive
tape or with clips suitable for
microwave use.
Never use metal clips or jars with
srew-on lids.
Do not use tins for bottling. Pressure
can build up and they may explode,
resulting in injury or damage.
Do not attempt to place more than four
1
/
2
- litre jars on the turntable at the
same time.
Set to 900 W and bring the content in
the jars to bubble. The time required
depends on:
–
the initial temperature of the produce
in the jar.
–
the number of glass jars.
Duration until bubbles evenly ascend in
all jars:
1 glass jar .........approx. 3 minutes
2 glass jars ........approx. 6 minutes
3 glass jars ........approx. 9 minutes
4 glass jars .......approx. 12 minutes
This is sufficient time for bottling fruit
and cucumbers.
For vegetables, reduce the power to
450 W once the produce starts
bubbling. Cook
- carrots for approx. 15 minutes
- peas for approx. 25 minutes.
After bottling
Take the glass jars from the microwave
oven, cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24 hours.
Remove the clips or the adhesive tape
and make sure the glasses are closed
properly.
