USING YOUR JAM MAKER
CLEAN YOUR APPLIANCE BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
Carefully clean your freshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker before its first use. Just
follow these simple steps:
1. Wash the Glass Lid, Stirrer and Pot in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
2. Base may be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth. Make certain it is not
plugged in to the power supply before cleaning.
Your appliance is now ready for use. Enjoy it!
Jams
are made by cooking crushed or finely chopped fruit combined with pectin and
sugar. The end product is firm yet spreadable and contains fruit pieces.
Jellies
are made by using fruit juice. This juice is used in place of crushed or finely
chopped fruit which is then combined with pectin and sugar to make jelly. Jelly is a bit
firmer than jam and does not contain fruit pieces.
Pectin
is a natural gelling ingredient derived from apple and citrus fruits. When used in
the preparation of homemade jams and jellies, pectin produces a more natural fresh fruit
flavor. Using pectin also makes the process of preparing homemade jams and jellies easier
because less cooking is required to achieve the proper set. We recommend Ball Classic
Pectin for the most accurate results when using your Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker.
