Mixed Berry Jam in the Bread Machine

[@banjobradley3644]

We do jam in bread machine all the time. Blitzing berries enables speedier evaporation thus thicker result.

[@lilliputlittle]

ahhh. That makes sense. I was wondering if the thin results were from using frozen berries.

[@sandrafisher5831]

Love your teaching the real challenges you come up against..... More helpful to me personally to see real not perfect.

[@kymschoeff2858]

I’ve always toyed with the idea of making jam in the bread maker but when I saw the mess in your machine ……. Thank you for saving me that aggravation 😂

[@lifeisgood-victoria796]

Can't the container be covered? Hmmm....

[@1netie]

You could try covering the top of the pan with parchment paper to help avoid the splatter.

[@lilliputlittle]

That is what I was thinking. Or even a piece of cheesecloth.

[@bshady2663]

aluminum foil?

[@dawncheetham2995]

Jim, I couldn't help myself when you said "why not" to Pam adding the paper towel. I thought it's more fiber! lol

[@rikkim4818]

Pam and Jim l enjoyed this video very much. Thank you. 😉 Pam how are u enjoying the lovely venture and road you are taking now. You may still teach with us as your students too. Life is a struggle everywhere now and we get enjoyment and learn so much from you.. We thank u. Pam u and Jim can spend more time together also? 😀

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We appreciate your very kind comments. Yes, we able to spend more time together now. Jim

[@kaesmomFitz]

I had no idea anything other than bread could be made in a bread maker. After seeing what the inside of yours looked like, I'm good with sticking with just bread.

[@tiffanyguynn8852]

Lol

[@annuhrich6889]

Pam could we make this jam on the stove. If so would you please tell us how. I have learned so very much from you. I trust totally what you tell us and show us. So so very informative . Thank you and Jim so very much.

[@rozchristopherson648]

You can also make yogurt in most bread machines if there is a setting for that.

[@robins5880]

I make jam in my bread machine all the time, different machine than yours. I don’t find it to be that messy. So easy to make and the grandkids devour it

[@michaelpardue2400]

Thanks for sharing my bread maker tell you mash up the berry up before placing in the bread pan .

[@marthasundquist5761]

Most refrigerator/freezer type jams are runnier from what I've had. Some jams can take longer to set up. I remember making mulberry jam and it took a long ti.e to set up. Some jams with mixed berries also tend to take longer to set up. It is always an adventure!

[@PeeWeeNut5utube]

We had a plum tree. Mom made plum jelly one year. It never set up, but it sure was good pancake syrup! 😅

[@SpecialK8]

Pam, I just have to visit with you more often than I realized. Thank you for your wisdom and common sense that you share. I am one of seven kids and miss the companionships! I am a capable lady of 64 but this world separates us in more ways than we expect. You are a joy and inspiration!

[@Ladythyme]

Frozen fruit omits moisture…possibly it would be a bit thicker had you strained the fruit after it was thawed as opposed to just putting it on a paper towel… it probably was wetter than it should have been…. Even When making jam on the stovetop evaporation takes place reducing the contents …in the bread maker with the lid down the moisture has nowhere to go. Just a thought. 🤔😊

[@mariehud7382]

I only use organic berries because of the use of so many pesticides on them…I love what you do and appreciate all your efforts to teach us everything you know…thank you Pam

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are welcome and it is very good that you use organic berries. Jim

[@pixiedustisreal2408]

I've made frozen fruit jam, not in my bread maker, on my stove top, it was delicious, I actually cooked the fruit from frozen with the sugar and lemon, so while it was cooking it was also defrosting. It worked brilliantly, tasted great, and kept perfectly. I love everything you do by the way, thank you.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank for your comment.

[@ladonnaowens710]

What recipe did you go by for the stove method and frozen fruit?

[@kathleendyer672]

I don’t eat much jam, either, but it’s one of those thing you need once in a while. I’m more likely to open a jar if I know half won’t go to waste so I bottle most of my jam in 4oz jars. When it needs to be used up and out of the pantry, it’s the perfect amount for pancakes for two, a layer cake filling, or to sweeten homemade yogurt. Raspberry is my fav, too!

[@littleme3597]

I love red raspberry....It seems many of us love this berry.

[@lilliewilliams3331]

Even though the jam is a high acid food, I was waiting for you to bring out the litmus paper. lol Thanks to you, checking for acidity level is a permanent part of my thinking. 🙂

[@jo-annjewett198]

Just remember that litmus paper is poisonous so test a bit separately and throw out.

[@pamharkins4601]

Very different! I laughed hard! About the paper towel!

[@BiteMe-lz8th]

Thank you Pam for the demonstration! I will try this, why not!! For me, I didn't think it looked that messy! And you said the taste was good! Looks great to me! Thank you!❤

[@janpiper3068]

Ways to use up jam and preserves. On cheese cake, over ice cream. In filled cookies, mix in pancake batter, muffin batter. Make a filled layer cake for a special occasion.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks for those delicious suggestions!

[@pamelafailen189]

Could you cover the insert pan with foil to minimize the mess?

[@donnamullins2089]

Pam pour a little jelly over cream cheese and serve as an appetizer with crackers. It will be delicious.

[@colleengallagher813]

Jam/jelly makers are sold and they rock! Thanks for helping with deciding not to use the bread maker!

[@nadurkee46]

Always a pleasure to watch your show.

[@Noniksleft]

It should come with a silicone pan cover for jam making Or any type of lid I see many suggesting foil. 👍👍

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes, I bet foil would work.

[@margaretburrows1974]

Use a small piece of press and seal on the insert.

[@sandrarichardson2713]

A lot of good points you emphasized in this experiment. Thanks so much for giving us your pros and cons. Maybe you were supposed to leave in the paper towels. :) Have a great day and stay safe. Jesus bless.

[@josephgreene8169]

Did your recipe in kbs machine. Only used strawberries and blueberries. Came out fine with no mess whatsoever. Thank you

[@maryjanewill3056]

Looks good to me, wait until I tell my husband I need a bread machine to make jam, lol

[@neilmunro6683]

This was just great.. Iv used the bread machine for jam and marmalade making and achieved the fall off the spoon results you achieved.. To solve the mess factor use aluminium foil to cover the top of the pan.. This works as a good barrior method for the mess.. See what you think!!! Making Saville orange marmalade is also a acceptable product. Add 10mls of Scottish whisky ten mins before the end of the program finishes gives the product a lift and unique taste... Kindness your way ... Lochness Scottish Highlands..

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks for the tip!

We have had other viewers tell us about the problems with the our Amazon Store. Here are a number of things you can do: When the page comes up, accept the cookies (that is an Amazon thing and we have nothing to do with it). You may have to use a different device: I cannot use my PC and have to use an Apple device. Also, you widen your security settings and make sure that you reset them to the previous settings after you leave the Store. You may have to go directly to roseredhomestead.com from Google or one of the other search engines. Jim

[@sueeus4869]

I wonder if covering the pan with foil would shield from splatters but condensation would added more moisture. I’d like to try it in my bread machine. But I wonder too, if using frozen/thawed fruit, add a half teaspoon more of the pectin? If using fresh, use what the recipe calls for (unless the fruit is overly ripe (more moisture)…. Ugh! 😅❤

[@kimgearhart]

I use tin foil to cover my pan, saves on the clean up for sure

[@AZCanner]

I'm converting all of my jelly recipes to weights instead of measuring utensils. This allows me a more accurate measurement if I'm making one jar of jelly. That way, I don't have to have mixed fruit jelly when I don't want it. Thank you Pam and Jim.

[@baevins]

Another Great Video Teaching Moment. Thank you

[@Nancy-zk9dj]

Thanks for leaving your comfort zone so I don't have to! I can't watch the rest till after work, but I've been wondering about this since I got my Cuisinart two years ago! You're the best! ❤

[@sarabush1961]

It’s good to have an alternative to standing over a stove and stirring and doing the cold saucer test, so there’s that. I have a Ball jelly/jam maker that takes about 25 minutes, and I find it convenient, so now I have two appliances and a stove, overkill,since we eat almost no jam! I just love the processes and the outcomes.

[@julieschossow9315]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jloh]

I have made jam with frozen fruits in my Panasonic bread maker. It didn't splatter at all. I think this was because of the inverter motor used and the paddle spinning speed could be controlled. It was a slow constant turn to mimic the constant slow stirring needed.

[@michelleboyle6497]

You are so creative and smart! I’m glad that I found you!

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

my jam always thickens after cooling in the jars...I saw my breadmaker has a jam selection....I thought it would just stir it...then I realized that it might cook the jam too and here is your video, thanks!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are welcome. Jim

[@margaretharris65]

Loved this video! As always your teaching is awesome! I have a Breadman bread maker but I don’t think I want to clean any mess the process may create! Topping for pancakes or waffles? Sounds heavenly. ❤️

[@pequena_ninera]

Thankfully, when I made strawberry jam in my bread maker, there wasn't a mess all over. Just in the bread pan. I guess it depends on the bread machine. The strawberry jam came out perfect and it won't last long. I only made half a jar, but since I love homemade jam, it's gonna be so much fun to eat it with the homemade bread I make in the bread machine.

[@melinaz3385]

Have you made any Mango chutney? I used 4 large mango's, onions, raisins, some spices and 1 seeded and devained serano chili, some paprika and some red chili flake, not much, 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vinegar. This was so good.! made 8 1/2 pints, used some mango nectar to add fluid, and i'm so glad i canned it or I would have eaten the whole 8 oz table jar! refrigerate after opening though.

Someone may have suggested this already, but it may help to cover the inner pan with foil to save some clean-up. I have made meatloaf in my bread maker, it was great! Ps just had to edit to say my first choice would be my marvelous "Pam Jam Pan" 🤗

[@MM-oc3sb]

@@mikeyharpole Pam ("Rose Red Homestead ") told us a long time ago about her favorite pot for canning, for ghee making, and many other uses. It is called a Jam Pan or Maslin Pan. It is an investment but I found one on Amazon. I looked at the reviews and was excited that the very first review was actually by her! It is now my favorite pan for these uses, too. I commented to her right away and on several other videos too, telling her I called it my "Pam Jam Pan" ... she and her hubby gave my comments a "like" so I know they will understand my edit on this video's comment, too. Blessings 😊

[@NekoArts]

That type of jam (minus the blackberries) is called "Drottningsylt" ("Queen's jam") in Swedish. I'm currently in Asia so don't have access to it here and just seeing it made me feel a little homesick. It's my favorite type of jam but I haven't had it in a long time now. Pancakes and waffles aside, there are several Swedish cookie and cake recipes that are really delicious with this type of jam (although raspberry jam is more commonly used for baking). I didn't know that you could use a breadmaker to make jam (then again, I don't have a breadmaker either so there's that), but I feel like it would just be easier to pop a pan on the stove and use that. Less cleaning too and you wouldn't have to thaw your berries before making it.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks, that sounds very good. Jim

[@conniesowers5125]

Pam, thank you for the video. One thing I have heard from a FB group I’m in, is that people are experiencing jam that isn’t setting up completely. They have been adding a tad extra pectin to their jam and that has been resolving this issue.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Please do a Google search: adding extra pectin to jam or www.thekitchn.com for a detailed answer as well as other ways to thicken jam. Jim

Pam: I have used Pomona's Pectin in fruit spread made for diabetic friends by using concentrated fruit juice such as frozen concentrated unsweetened apple, grape and pear juice as a substitute for refined sugar.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That sounds great! Jim

[@sl1020]

Fresh is best since the frozen leans on the side of watery

[@marygallagher3428]

Thanks for the interesting demonstration!

[@sscb1]

I didn't know bread machines could do this. Might be able to contain the splatter by covering with foil or laying parchment paper over the top.

[@kathygarner419]

Pam: What you got was preserves, equally delicious on biscuits or pancakes. I noticed that in other videos you expressed concern with getting your jelly and jam to the right thickness. It may not be you but the pectin you are using. I have used Pomona's Pectin for several years and had very good luck with it. It is a low methoxyl pectin that is derived from citrus and is activated by using calcium water. With Pomona's you can make sugar free jams and jellies. It may seem pricey when you check for it online, but it is pure pectin and does not have the sugar and fillers that most grocery and discount store brands. They also provide the calcium powder with their pectin. Low methoxyl pectin can also be used as a fat substitute in baking and to stabilize acidic protein drinks such as drinkable yogurt

Good video you guys. I was thinking about getting a new bread machine. The one I have now doesn't allow you to put nuts or berries in toward the end of the cycle. But it still makes dough just fine. So,????? I just found out that Azure Standard is going to be selling canning jars that have reuseable lids. Yeah, the founder said that the gaskets around the lids were thicker and you can reuse the lids.

Hi Pam & Jim. Love the video. I wonder if you could cover the top of the pan with screen or foil with holes to let the steam out, but keep the splatter in. I know what a job it is to clean flour out of my bread machine. It smells horrible when it burns on the heating coil. There should be a better design for these machines!😁

[@mist4926]

wonder if you can put foil over it to hold down the splatter. also wonder if you have to use all the sugar

[@ladonnaowens710]

Use the loose ones for milk shakes! Could you cover the top of the bread pan with foil or something?

[@unclejojo63]

1 tablespoon of powdered pectin doesn't seem like much. I wouldn't expect them to set up very well with that amount. I'm sure they will make good pancake syrup, though. I think I'll stick to my jam pan to make jams and jellies :) I got my jam pan after I saw the one you had, Pam. I love it!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You could add the add the TBS of pectin and see it works. Let us know the results it you do it. Jim

[@blueeyes2481]

Could you put foil or parchment paper loosely on the top of the bowl to prevent the spatter?

[@littleme3597]

It would probably 'cook' into the jam.

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

Pancake syrup. Grape juice just reduce i did mine to much thinner would be better i was wondering if you could put a little pectin , i would think any sweet juice would work. I seen some one used concentrated orange juice i guess grape would work😊

[@audreydeneui192]

I have made jam with frozen persimmons (fuyus) because I like to use them dead gooshy ripe and they won't all do that simultaneously. I freeze them as they get to that stage. I have not had an issue with it not setting up. It may be that the breadmaker's jam setting does not get as hot as it does when you boil it down on the stove top/hot plate. I have never made jam in my breadmakers. I'm glad I saw this. The mess hasn't completely put me off, but getting the flour/bread "dust" out of mine (and failing) makes me leery of having to scrub out burned berry syrup from the inside of my machine.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes, it is pretty messy and took a while to clean it. Jim

[@laurab8547]

It should be interesting to see if your jars stay sealed. If I remember, your experiment was with vegetables that you processed in a pressure canner. They all stayed sealed over the year you ran the experiment. I feel that a pressure canner creates a stronger seal than (the ones I've done) with water bath canning. So because your jam was water bathed, I wonder if you will have the same results with the additional seals? Please do check them in a few weeks to make sure they are still sealed! And I hope you will let us know!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks, we will. Jim

My bread maker has a jam cycle, I've been afraid to try it😅

[@sheilam4964]

Yep, I'm constantly shortening the time involved for anything, I clean as I go so that when everything is done, EVERYTHING is done. If you are thinking of going for a second helping, hang on to your plate till you are sure one way or another. Heck, while everyone is eating, I'm putting the left over food away so the counter is clean for the dirty dishes. It is called OCD. There is no way I would make jam in my bread maker if I have to clean up a mess like that. A pot on the stove is quicker and done much faster with less mess. BUT now we know. Thx guys.

[@bratface7520]

I have a couple of comments, just off the top of my head, I don't think for a recipe like this you can substitute the thawed frozen fruit for fresh. Just picture the difference if you spread any of the berries, except maybe the strawberries, on a sheet of paper towel, one with the thawed or thawing out frozen and another sheet spread with fresh blueberries or raspberries or especially blackberries. I'm guessing that you wouldn't see the same paper towel saturation as you did with the thawed out frozen berries. And that leads me to believe, the spattering problem inside the bread make was caused by too high a ratio of fluid/water in the measured berries. For the sake of science 😁I think you should give it one more try with fresh if only to prove me wrong. My other comment, I have the same lemon squeezer and I was told the lemon goes in cut side down and the pressure from the domed inside produces more juice and almost turns the lemon inside out. Something to try just to see? I love everything about your videos, I knew from the first one I watched that I would never get bad information from you and I've seen it all just like you have, in real life with friends that 'oven can' to the misleading video. Take care and thanks for reading! 🤩

I never knew that jam could be made in a bread maker! Mine is too old to have that feature, I'm sure ...it is in storage, but I may have to get it out to look!

Hmmm... maybe the paper towel wasn't such a bad idea after all! 🤣🤣 Anyway, it looks beautiful and tastes good, so there's that. I wonder if it could be made without the raspberries (add more blueberries maybe). I seem to be in the minority as not being fond of raspberries.
