Bottling in a Miele steam oven • Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition. Remove skins from fruit with thick skin. Either peel (apples and pears) or remove using the steam oven (peaches and nectarines). • 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. • 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. • 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 peel, stalks, cores or stones. Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices. • If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g., plums, apricots) without removing the stones, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or wooden skewer as otherwise it will burst. • Do not pack down the produce as this will damage the cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar gently onto a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid. The produce must be completely covered. • Make use of residual heat by leaving the jars in the oven for 30 minutes after it has switched off. • Refer to the preserved fruit table on page 44 for timing for other fruits.
