have my jam maker - help!

georgieb_2

right so, i have my lovely new tefal jam maker, i have never ever made jam before and didnt fancy making any jam last night from the booklet! so, i decided to make apple and blackberry but, to be honest the rubber i have in the jars from my attempt wont pass as jam!!

does anyone have any reciepes i can use in the jam maker that arent designed for 10-15 pots of jam - i am a total novice and now realize my error seems to be pectin in the fruit and not needing so much added etc

I do find the book hard to navigate as people have commented on, but you can only do a small amount at a time (which is fine) but there must be more recipes out there than the ones given in the booklet.
i could half receipes i find but would they work correctly in the machine?

anyone help if i havent embarressed myself too much already !!

thanks in advance

I have never heard of a jam maker. It is so easy just to do jam in small quantities in a jam pan. Where did you get your jam maker from? I am intrigued.

Me too . Made four jars of strawberry last night in about half an hour.

You can still use the recipes from your book... just use a half or quarter or whatever of all the ingredients to make a smaller amount.

You should be able to salvage the rubber jam... just shove it back in the pan, reheat it and add more fruit + sugar.
