Fresh and dried fruit
Fresh fruit:
• Wash and/or core fruit. If you prefer,
peel and slice it.
• 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. When
you cook fruit in slices or pieces to
make purée or conserve use the
natural release 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 flavorings. 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.
