Pasteurisers for Juice and Fruit and Vegetable Preservation

It’s Party Time!! & this is season when your hard working pasteuriser can double up to heat and dispense your home-made mulled cider, apple juice or wine. Set to 70ºC and on the Continuous timer setting your mulled drinks will stay deliciously hot without loss of alcohol. Filling your jug or tankard is made easy using the non-drip tap.

Please see This Seasons Recipe panel for the recipe.

When not in use to heat drinks they prove invaluable for the successful pasteurisation of bottled apple juice, the temperature control and timing functions make this procedure both easy and reliable.

However pasteurisers are also ideal for the preservation of a whole range of other garden and smallholding produce. When used in conjunction with Weck Preserving Jars, and with the aid of the Weck Home-Canning Book, kitchen gardeners can prepare a larder of delicious preserves from the seasonal gluts. Bottled fruits and vegetables can see us through the lean months of winter and spring when groceries are so expensive and often come to us from far flung parts of the globe, clocking up wasteful and polluting air-miles.

With the relatively inexpensive addition of the Juice Extraction Top, the pasteurisers can be turned into effective steamers to make cordials, juices and jellies from a variety of other fruits like damsons and plums, quinces and crab apples, a whole variety of berries such as blackberry, raspberry and elder and, of course, the range of currants that are so rich in flavour and vitamins. They can also be used to blanch vegetables for freezing.

This range of equipment is of huge benefit to anyone who subscribes to the Slow Food movement, who likes good quality food and who cares about the environment.
