Jam in a slow cooker?

Pack of 50 lids for £3.95 or pack of 56 jars with lids for £20.95

Having had to buy some last year, I found Ascott Smallholding Supplies to be best value. Good service too!

I know it's not the right time of year but does anyone have a slow cooker recipe for marmalade?

Hi I have been saving for the last few months and have decided to buy a slow cooker. I love the recipes on here but to make the most of it would love to make jam. Do they all do it or is there a specific one required, sorry total newbie to SC:eek:

I don't think slow cookers make jam because it needs a rolling boil to set. If someone knows better I am happy to stand corrected tho.

Its just that I have ordered a book, and it says that there are recipes for jams and conservers too. I hope you can as I have loads of fruit bushes and strawberrys lol

I know some of the bread makers can do jam.
lemon curd can be done in a slow cooker.

Maybe I should wait for book then as it did say jam, I so wanted to get one now, never mind.

I'd agree with Maya, for the same reason I use a big pan to make jam (the base of my pressure coker, without the lid ).
