• Cook fruit in a steamer basket (sold
separately) and add at least half a
cup of water or fruit juice.
• Never fill the pressure cooker to
more than two thirds of its capacity.
• If you prefer, add sugar and/or
seasoning to the fruit before or after
cooking.
• When you cook whole or halved fruit,
use the quick release method. When
you cook fruit in slices or pieces to
make purée or conserve use the
natural cooling method.
• Cooking times can vary depending
on the ripeness of the fruit.
Dried fruit:
• Put dried fruit in the pressure cooker
with 1 cup of water or fruit juice for
each cup of dried fruit.
• If you prefer, you can add seasoning
or other flavoring. Use the quick
release method when the cooking
period is complete. If after the
cooking period the fruit is still hard,
let it simmer in the cooker with the lid
removed until it is ready. Add water if
necessary.
