Preserving
To be understood under the term preserving is the
conservation of foodstuffs by, amongst others, the
effects of heat. Dependent upon the type and mass
of the items to be preserved, a differentiation is
made between the processes of sterilisation and
pasteurisation.
In sterilisation, the items to be preserved are heated
to a temperature of at least 100°C. With pasteuri-
sation the heating temperature lies by 80°C. For
domestic use pasteurisation is sufficient.
To achieve this, you need appropriate preserving
jars, with screw-tops or lids with rubber rings, and
a fruit preserver.
1. Place the preserving grill
2. Stand the well sealed preserving jars on the

.
Note:
A maximum of 14 x 1 liter preserving jars, in two layers,
one above the other, can be pasteurised/sterilised.
3. Fill the fruit preserver with sufficent water to ensure
that the upper jars are submersed in water to at
least 3/4 of their height. Ensure that the preser-
ving jars in the lower layer are firmly sealed, so
that water cannot infiltrate them.
4. Close the fruit preserver with the lid
