Jam Making Guidelines
You might never have considered using your Home bakery for making a sweet jam for your fresh breads
but it is easy and fun! Note that these recipes do not call for the traditional technique of using hot
sterilized jars, or 'paraffin-sealing' to preserve the jams. You can refrigerate or freeze these recipes to
enjoy them for months to come.
Remember, too, that for the "JAM" setting, you must press the "CAKE: setting twice until it blinks.
Creating Your Own Jams in the Home Bakery
• Dried fruit such as those used in the Apricot-Pineapple Jam and Mixed Fruit Jam are terrific candidates
for the Home Bakery method. They thicken easily during the cooking process and call for less pectin
than other fruits.
• With fresh fruits such as berries and peaches, use about 1/3 to 1 cup of sugar per cup of fruit. Taste the
fruit for sweetness to gauge the amount of sugar needed.
• Do not exceed 4 cups of fruit per batch.
• Always remove peels from fresh fruits such as apples, pears and peaches. Jams will have a smoother,
more uniform texture.
• Store jams in the refrigerator or freezer. Chilling completes the thickening process. Then use as
desired.
