Chookie I would love to know how to bottle fruit using the microwave.

Cookie I have taken photos of how to bottle fruit in  the Microwave.   I will also write instructions.  A couple of small problems,  1. it is not completely relevant to TMX,  although fruit can be cooked in TMX prior to bottling,  and used in TMX recipes after bottled.     2.  I am not very good with the computer and may have probs.   Therefore I will  try and put it on my blog and see how I go from there.  You can access my blog by tapping on the sphere under my avatar.

Thank you. I do peek at your blog quite frequently.

Cookie ,  I have done it,  not very professional but it is there.  Hope you enjoy it.  When we have been on hols. and good cheap fruit has been available I have bought some and then gone to the OP shop and bought jars and preserved in the Microwave at the Motel.  No stopping an enthusiastic cook.

There certainly is no stopping you Chookie, bet the store keepers love seeing you and DH roll into their towns for your little breaks - especially anyone who sells food    What a great idea.

I love the series on your blog Chookie about bottling fruit.Very easy to follow, especially with the photos.I usually but my big glass jars out for the recycling once a month but no more,they will be kept in future.

Good on you CC,  my friends keep theirs for me.   I forgot to point out that there is no need for sugar.

I can see that I am going to have to put a "jars and bottles wanted" notice on the board at the local supermarket/post office - with all the new ideas I am getting from this forum and your blog (jams, corn relish, homemade wocestershire sauce, homemade mustard, vanilla extract,  bottling fruit etc etc), I am going to run out of jars really soon!

KJH, what a good idea,  never throw a good jar out.
