Preparations  Prepare the ingredients according to the recipe.
 Put the kneading blade into the bread pan.
 Place the ingredients into the bread pan in the following order:
half of the fruits → half of the sugar →remainder of fruits → remainder of sugar.

Select menu ‘26’ 1
 Timer is not available on menu 26.
(The Timer pad only sets the duration of the
cooking time.)
 It is necessary to have an adequate amount of
sugar, acid, and pectin to make firm set jam.
 Fruits with a high level of pectin set easily. Fruits
with less pectin do not set well.
 Use freshly ripened fruits. Over or under ripe
fruits do not set firmly.
 The recipes in this book make soft set jams.
This is due to lower levels of sugar.
 Follow the recipe for the quantity for each
ingredient.
• Do not increase or decrease the quantities
of fruits. It may cause the jam to boil over or
scorch.
• Do not increase the quantity of sugar more than
half quantities of fruits.
It may cause boil over or scorch.
When decrease the quantity of sugar, jam does
not set firm.
* When the acidity of the fruit is strong, you can
decrease quantity of the lemon juice but if it is
decreased too much, jam does not set firm.
 When the cooking time is short, fruit bits can
remain partially and the jam may become watery.
• The jam will continue to set as it cools.
Be careful not to over cook.
