Recipe: 11 Jam Recipes for Bread Machine

Hi Jay,

First, a word of caution: I wouldn't recommend making jam in a bread machine without the jam cycle feature - aside from the heat and timing needed, I'm not sure if a standard bread machine will handle the liquids properly (and what a sticky mess this would be in your machine!) Also, if your machine does have a jam cycle follow recipes with proportions closest to the ones that came with your machine.

Here are more recipes than you requested, but there is a strawberry jam recipe in here! This includes a repost of the recipes that came with my Breadman Ultimate along with some others I found when looking for a strawberry jam recipe for you. Again, use caution. I read a post by someone that damaged the seal in their paddle bearing trying to make jam in their machine.

Happy Cooking,

Tips:
- Do not reduce sugar or use sugar substitutes. The exact amount of sugar, fruit and pectin are necessary for a good set.
- Use only ripe fruit - not overripe or underripe (unless noted) for best flavor.
- Do not puree fruit. Crush with a potato masher or food processor. Jam should have bits of fruit in it.
- Recipes should not exceed 3 1/2 cups
- Be sure to measure the fruit BEFORE it has been crushed, NOT AFTER.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam
Place all ingredients in baking pan and start jam cycle:

3/4 cup (8 oz.) strawberries (very ripe), hulled
3/4 cup (8 oz.) rhubarb (firm/crisp), roughly chopped
1 2/3 cups (13 oz) white sugar

Raspberry Jam
Place all ingredients in baking pan and start jam cycle:

1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) red or black raspberries
1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) white sugar
2 tablespoons honey

This jam will be very liquid when cycle is completed and will thicken when completely cooled. If desired, strain to eliminate the seeds.

Blue Kiwi Mango Jam
Place all ingredients in baking pan and start jam cycle:

3/4 cup (6 oz.) kiwi fruit (ripe, but not mushy), peeled and chopped
3/4 cup (6 oz.) mango (BARELY RIPE), peeled and chopped
1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated (see note)
1 teaspoon orange zest, grated (see note)
4 drops blue food coloring

Note: Lemon and orange zest are grated from the surface of the peel. Make sure none of the bitter white rind is included.

Peach-Raisin Jam
Place all ingredients in baking pan and start jam cycle:

1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) ripe peaches, pitted
1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons golden raisins, soaked
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 whole cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
