THE JOYS OF JAM ... AS EASY AS 1 - 2 - 3
(Model 1186 only)
We think homemade jam and fresh bread are a match made in heaven. And as we tested jam recipes
in the Toastmaster test kitchen, we discovered that jam also makes a tasty and visually appealing
addition to many other foods. Try it on ice cream, waffles, French toast, pancakes or as a filling for
layer cakes. Be creative . . . once you’ve had your first spoonful, your imagination will soar!
Jam requires only 3 ingredients; berries, sugar and lemon juice. You may use strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries or other thin skinned berries. Sugar and lemon juice help to firm, flavor and preserve the
color of the berries. Jam is heated and stirred during the program to produce a topping for your
breads, waffles and ice cream.

juice, shake to mix ingredients. Insert bread pan into bread machine and close lid.

machine or touch bread machine during operation; it will be very hot. The bread
machine will beep when the cycle is complete. ; ■ , :

Bread pan and kneading blade will be very hot. DO NOT IMMERSE BREAD PAN; see
cleaning instructions.
Tips
• 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 cup 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.
