Special modes Canning Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety. Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition. Glass jars Use clean glass jars and accessories and check them for any defects. Glass jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a rubber seal are suitable. Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that bottling is carried out evenly. After you have filled the jars with the bottled produce, clean the glass rims with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars. Fruit 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. Fill volume Fill the glass jars with produce up to a maximum of 1 1/4" (3 cm) below the rim. Do not pack down as this would damage the cell walls of the produce. Bang the jar gently on a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly. Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt or vinegar solution for vegetables. Tips - Make use of residual heat by leaving the jars in the oven for 30 minutes after it has switched off. - Then cover the jars with a cloth and allow to cool for approx. 24 hours. Method Place a perforated pan on the lowest shelf level. Place the jars (all the same size) in the perforated cooking pan. Ensure that they do not touch one another. Settings Remove any peel, stalks, cores or pits. Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices. Special Modes | Canning or Operating Modes | Steam Cooking If you are bottling fruit with pits (e.g. plums, apricots) without removing the pits, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or wooden skewer as otherwise it will burst. Vegetables Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables. Vegetables should be blanched before bottling to help them retain their color (see "Blanching"). 103
