About cooking jams and jellies
Jams are made by cooking crushed or finely chopped fruit combined with pectin and
sugar. The end products is firm yet spreadable and contains fruit pieces.
Jellies are made by using fruit juice. This juice is used in place of Crushed or finely
chopped fruit which is then combined with pectin and sugar to make jelly. Jelly is a bit
firmer than jam and does not contain fruit pieces.
Pectin is a natural gelling ingredient derived from apple and citrus fruits. When used in
the preparation of homemade jams and jellies, pectin produces a more natural fresh fruit
flavor. Using pectin also makes the process of preparing home made jams and jellies
easier because less cooking is required to achieve the proper set.
Gelling sugar is a mixture of sugar, pectin and an acidifier (e.g. citric acid or tartaric
acid), is suitable for the production of jam and jelly and is offered for different mixing
ratios of fruit to gelling sugar (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1).
How to make jam
1. Prepare the required ingredients (e.g. selected fruits and preserving sugar in a
suitable mixing ratio).
2. As described in the section „Assembly" (p. 17, figures 3 and 4), insert the stirrer into
the pot with the blades towards the bottom. The post in the center of stirrer should
align with the hole in the bottom of the pot. Once the stirrer locks into place you will
not be able to rotate it manually.
Note: To protect the internal motor, always be sure to insert the stirrer before adding
any liquids. This ensures that essential parts of the appliance are protected from
damage.
3. Plug in the unit.
4. Fill the pot with the required ingredients (e.g. selected fruit). (The sugar will be
added at a later time!)
5. Press the jam button (3). The cook time will automatically default to 21 minutes. If
necessary, use the +/- buttons (6/7) to increase or decrease cooking time in one-
minute intervals. Press the enter button (2) and the jam and jelly maker will now start
stirring.
6. Stay close to the appliance. At 4 minutes, the jam and jelly maker will sound 4 short
beeps indicating that it is time to add sugar. Gradually add sugar while the stirrer
continues running. Place the glass lid on the pot after adding sugar.
Note: Adding sugar at this specific time is important for yielding best results.
