Good trick to preserve apples.  Have you tried with other fruits?

Anyway here is the link to your blog as you have not written it in your post :)

Thanks Bluesed and Meagan,  Yes I have done most  fruits , not banana.  I forgot to mention ,  no sugar needed. I also don't do tomatoes as these have to be double cooked.  You can make a mixture,  for example berries and apple.

Thanks for posting those instructions and photos ACW - looks really quick and simple.  How does the microwave cope with the metal lids on the jars though?

KJH,  no problem with  the metal lids.  I don't know why. No arcing.

Chookie, I have a vague recollection that the trick is to make sure that the metal never touches the sides or roof (cavity) of the microwave oven. ie don't put them too close to the outer edge of the microwave turntable just in case they tip and touch the sides.  Someone else may know for certain. I have a multi-function microwave (it has an in built crisp function as well as convection etc etc and you can use a combination of microware and crisp at the same time so I think that's where I got that info when we bought the microwave).
Hope this helps.
