breadmaker for making jam

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I finally succumbed to Jay's and other descriptions of bread machines and bought one from WalMart. It's a Sunbeam and has a section in the manual dedicated to using the machine to make jam.

Has anyone tried this? I like the idea of not being tied to the stove. What was your opinion of the product? Can you use the low sugar pectins? Thanks for any input.

I love my breadmachine (Black and Decker) but have not yet tried the jam function. My directions stressed the importance of putting foil around the top of the bread pan so the swishing stuff won't get all over the inside of the bread machine.

I gave in and bought a bread machine too (Welbilt on clearance for $30) to use on hot days. I didn't notice any instruction for making jam in it though - guess I'd better look again.
