FAQs
How do I sterilize the jars?
Place the jars and lids in a large pot of boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Alternatively, sterilize in a dishwasher using the hottest setting.
Can I use this kit for other preserving methods?
While primarily designed for jam making, the kit can be used for other preserving methods that require boiling, such as chutney and jelly.
What kind of recipes can I make with this kit?
The kit is suitable for a wide variety of recipes, including fruit jams, marmalades, chutneys, and fruit preserves. You can find many recipes online or in cookbooks.
How should I store the finished preserves?
Once the jars are sealed and cooled, store them in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate the preserves and consume them within a few weeks.
What is the purpose of the wooden spoon?
