I like to keep hot water in my sterilized jars while my jam is cooking. That way they stay warm and I don't risk cracking one when I pour in the hot jam. However, you decide to do it, it will be important to keep your jars warm. 2.Wash, peel and pit the peaches. Then coarsely chop them. 3.Crush the peaches with a potato masher. Measure out the exact amount for your recipe and set aside. 4.Make sure you have inserted the stirrer into your Jam and Jelly Maker, then sprinkle the pectin evenly across the bottom of the pot. 5.Add the peaches, evenly, over the pectin. Then put lemon juice and butter over the fruit. 6.Press the jam button on the Freshtec Jam and Jelly Maker and the time will automatically default to 21 minutes. Press Enter. 7.There will be four short beeps at the end of 4 minutes. Now add the sugar, evenly over your fruit, allowing the appliance to continue running and stirring as you work. 8.Place the glass lid on the pot. 9.Stay close by. The jam and jelly maker will beep again, in 17 minutes, when the jam is done. 10.Press cancel and unplug the appliance. 11.Use a hot pad to remove the stirrer from the pot. 12.If you have any foam on your jam, skim it off. (In three batches, I never did.) 13.Empty the hot water out of your jars. 14.Ladle the hot jam into the jars. 15.Leave about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch head space at the top of each jar. Wipe away any jam drips from the rims and then center the lids on your jar. Twist the screwbands on finger tight. 16.Place three jars (pint or half-pint) into a canning rack with lifter. 17.Lower the jars into your pot of water that has reached a steady boil. The jars should have 1 - 2 inches of water over them. 18.Place the lid on the canner and process the jam for 10 minutes (Adjust the time for your own altitude.) 19.Turn off the heat, remove lid from pot and let jars sit for 5 minutes. 20.Remove jars from water and allow them to cool. I like to keep a folded bath towel on the counter next to where I'm canning. It protects the counter from my hot jars and absorbs any water that drips as I remove the rack from the canner. 21.Lids should have sealed within 12 to 24 hours (though mine rarely take that long - usually within an hour or two.) If a jar hasn't sealed within 24 hours, stick it in the fridge and use it first. 22.Sealed jars can be stored in the pantry for up to a year. 23.Enjoy!Mom’s Strawberry JamMakes 4 (8-ounce) Half Pint Jars (Recipe adapted from Ball, freshTECH Sweet and Simple recipe booklet)We’ve taken a stab at canning before, but quite honestly, we’re not the most patient home cooks on the planet. That’s why we were thrilled when Ball sent us their in-a-flash jam and jelly maker. Besides strawberry jam, you can also use it for other jams like peach, sweet cherry, pear, plum, apple, and a bunch of jellies. (For more recipes, you can visit the Ball website.) While we would not categorize our jam as a health food—it still has plenty of sugar—it’s made with real, wholesome ingredients and the flavor is amazing.3? cups crushed strawberries (from 7 cups whole, stemmed strawberries, @ 3 pounds) * We used a potato masher to crush the berries3 tablespoons Ball Low or No-Sugar Needed RealFruit Pectin1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine1? cups granulated sugar1.
