For best results:
•Always use the exact amount of sugar, fruit and Jam Setta. Do not reduce sugar stated in recipes or use substitutes.
•Use only fresh, ripe fruit for best flavour and natural pectin level.
•Remove stems or pits from fruit before slicing.
•Do not puree fruit. Jam should contain pieces of fruit. Fruit can be chopped with a food processor, using a pulse action.
•Recipes should not exceed 3½ cups. Weigh fruit after slicing.
•The gel, texture, flavour, aroma and colour of the cooled jam may vary when compared to commercially made jams. The natural pectin, ripeness, juiciness, etc. of the fruit used will influence the finished product.
•Due to the natural pectin of some fruits, if the jam appears to be thickening before the total cooking time has elapsed and no further cooking is required, press the ‘STOP’ button then complete the bottling procedure.
•‘Jam Setta’ is a jam setting mixture it contains the ingredient ‘pectin’ which is a naturally occurring substance found in fresh fruit. It is this pectin in fruit which when cooked produces a gel. The addition of ‘Jam Setta’ in our recipes ensures a thicker setting action occurs. This product is available at most supermarkets in 50g sachets.
•The ‘Preset Timer’ cannot be use for recipes in this section.
All recipes use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric measuring tools (cup, spoons and weighing scales) for accuracy.
Procedure
1.With the standard kneading blade in position inside bread pan, add the ingredients to the bread pan.
2.Wipe spills from outside of the bread pan.
3.Lock the bread pan into position in the baking chamber and close the lid.
4.Press ‘Select’ to setting 10 (‘JAM’).
5.Press ‘Start’.
6.The bread machine will preheat for 15 minutes before any movement occurs in the pan. After preheating, the jam will be cooked and mixed for approximately 50 minutes. The entire cycle takes 1 hour 5 minutes.
7.The bread machine will ‘beep’ when the setting is complete.
8.Press ‘Stop’.
9.Use oven mitts to remove the bread pan.
10.Pour the hot jam into warm, dry, sterilised jars, leaving 1.25cm from the top of the jar. Seal immediately and label. Jam will thicken upon cooling and storage.

Note
Preparation of Jars for Jam
Soak jars in warm water until label is easy to remove. Remove any wet cardboard liners from lids of jars. Wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water. Rinse well in hot water, do not wipe dry.
Place jars and metal lids onto an oven tray. Place into a preheated oven 100ºC for
It is important that these recipes are measured accurately, otherwise the ingredients may boil over, making cleaning difficult.
