"iMicrowave Magic” Carol Stark . — m |i Jellies, jams and relishes, like all fruits and vegetables cooked by microwaves, retain their sparkling fresh flavor. Because microwave energy heats from all sides, not just the bottom, sugar mixtures do not scorch and need very little stir ring. As with range top cooking, they boil up high, so be sure to use a large casserole. Since fruit juices do not evaporate in microwaving, I recommend using fruit pectin to thicken jellies, jams and pre serves. You will also obtain a greater yield for the same amount of fruit. General recommendations for jelly and jam making: 1. Use HIGH power on all recipes. 2. Add pectin gradually, stirring very well. 3. Use potholders as sugar mixtures get very hot. 4. Avoid steam bums by lifting lid away from you when removing. 5. Pour jelly into hot sterilized jars or glas ses; wipe off rim well, then seal with hot sterilized lids or paraffin. Sterilizing should be done in pot of boiling water on surface unit.
