Redcurrant jam in a bread maker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make jam in a bread machine? Prepare the products according to the list. Choose ripe, large currants. Even when a ripe berry remains a little sour, an unripe one will be completely unsuitable. Consider the size of your bread machine. The number of berries should not exceed the middle of the bowl. 500 grams was perfect for my model.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the currants well by placing them in a colander under running water. Then leave it for a while to allow the water to drain. There is no need to dry the berries, as they will heat up in the bread maker. Then peel the berries from the branches. You can do this simply with your hands. Try using a life hack - remove berries from the branches using a fork. Very comfortably! All the berries are removed in one motion. Also remove excess debris, if any.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the currants in a large bowl. Grind it using an immersion blender. You can also use a chopper or meat grinder. Whether to remove the seeds or not is a matter of taste. I've cooked with them and they don't interfere with my jam. If this is critical, then rub the mass through a sieve. Weigh the finished puree.

4. STEP 4

   

   Measure out the required amount of sugar. Calculate from the proportion for 2 kg of berries - 1.5 kg of sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the berry puree into the bread maker bowl. Add sugar.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix the sugar and berries well. Leave the mixture for two hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then place the bowl in the bread maker. Select the appropriate mode. Start the device. What happens to the berries during the process. The mass is heated and stirred from time to time.

8. STEP 8

   

   After the allotted time - for me it’s 55 minutes - the jam will be ready in the bowl. When hot, it is quite liquid, but after cooling it will become thick, similar to jelly, since currants contain a lot of pectin, a gelling substance.

9. STEP 9

   

   You can pour the jam hot into dry, clean jars, or you can spread it out when cooled. This jam is stored in a cool place. Due to the large amount of acid and sugar, it does not spoil.

I recently made jam in a bread machine for the first time. And I liked this process so much (in which I, in principle, did not participate) that I wanted to cook something similar again. I found a recipe on the website for redcurrant jam in a bread machine. I just had about 200 grams of berries in the freezer. I previously defrosted the red currants. I did everything else according to the recommendations in the recipe. For 200 grams of berries I took 150 grams of sugar. The process of making jam in my bread machine takes 1 hour and 5 minutes. The jam turned out amazing: thick, beautiful rich dark red color. It is quite sweet, but not cloying, since the sour taste of the berries balances the sweetness. I think both in consistency and taste it will be perfect as a filling for pies and buns. And it’s absolutely perfect for tea drinking.katushafin, thank you very much for the recipe!

Yes, if you make preparations for the winter, then you need to take fresh fruits and berries. What if you run out of supplies and it’s winter outside? That’s when you can make jam from frozen berries: raspberries, blueberries, cranberries. Moreover, you can put them in the bread machine even without defrosting them first. Add lemon and sugar to taste. We load everything into the bread machine, set it to the appropriate mode and wait for the end of cooking.
