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.
 Set the bread pan into the main unit, and plug the machine into the socket.
Select menu ‘26’ 1
(SD-2500: ‘24’)
 Timer is not available on menu 26 (SD-2500: 24).
(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 the jam to 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.

possible. Please take care of the burn when you

as shop bought varieties. Once open, refrigerate
and consume shortly after opening.
