Jam requires only 3 ingredients; berries, sugar and lemon juice. I
haven't yet made the jam recipe that came with my Toastmaster
Breadbox, but the basic recipe given is:
- 2 c berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or other thin
skinned berries)
- 3/4 c sugar
- 2 T lemon juice
Program 7
Frozen berries (no sugar added) may be substituted for fresh. Thaw
and drain before measuring. For thinner jam, use juice as part of
the 2 c berry amount. You may decrease the amount of sugar, but it
will produce a thinner result. More sugar will make it thicker. For
best results, sugar substitutes are not recommended. The average
refrigerated life of jam is two weeks; up to several months frozen.
They suggest also trying it on ice cream, waffles, French toast,
pancakes, or as a filling for layer cakes. Yum, I think I'll try it
out myself now!
