1. The currants must be sorted, twigs, leaves, and unedible fruits must be removed. Next, rinse the berries in cool running water and set them aside for a while to drain off excess liquid. 
2. Now we put the currants in the bread maker bucket. It is important not to overload the equipment, so follow the instructions. 
3. Pour granulated sugar on top of the currants, the amount of which is indicated in the recipe. 
4. Place the bucket in the bread maker. 
5. Turn on program No. 9 “Jam”. We put the equipment into operation. After 1 hour and twenty minutes, the bread maker will beep to indicate the end of the blackcurrant jam preparation. 
6. While the delicious currant dessert is cooking, let’s prepare the glass containers. The container must be thoroughly washed with baking soda, rinsed thoroughly and sterilized. We carry out the sterilization process in any way available and familiar to you (calcination in a microwave oven, oven or another option). 
7. As soon as the signal sounds, take the bucket out of the bread maker. Pour the currant jam into hot jars and immediately roll them up with screw or metal lids using a special key. 
8. Check the quality of the seal by turning the jar upside down. We follow the recommendations of experienced housewives and wrap the jam in a terry towel or blanket. Leave in this state until the containers have cooled completely. 
Blackcurrant jam in the bread maker is ready! 
This wonderful dessert will be an indispensable addition to tea or coffee. In addition, currant jam is excellent as a filling for various baked goods. Bon appetit!
Red currant jam is tasty and healthy. No one argues with this, but it has one significant drawback - hard bones. It’s not very pleasant when they get on your teeth and it’s completely unaesthetic when the bones get stuck in the space between the teeth, but this problem can be easily eliminated! Just instead of regular currant jam, you need to make jam from red currant juice!
And since today every housewife has at her disposal a wide variety of household appliances that make cooking easier, you can make fantastic redcurrant jam in a bread maker. Thanks to this “smart” device, you won’t have to stand at the stove stirring the jam, monitor the cooking time, and you won’t have to worry that the jam will overcook or burn. The bread maker will do everything itself, we just need to put the necessary products into its bowl.
What do you need to make redcurrant jam? The berries themselves (500 g), granulated sugar (300-350 g), pectin or its analogue Quittin (15 g). This recipe does not require any water or the addition of any other ingredients.
The most important step in making currant jam is preparing the berries. They need to be carefully sorted so that not a single spoiled berry gets into the jam, remove all the leaves, trash, spider bugs, and remove the berries from the branches.
Then the currants need to be washed. Since the berries are quite tender, it is best to use a colander or sieve for this. Pour the berries into a colander, place it in a deep bowl with cold water, rinse the berries, remove any small debris that has floated up. Remove the colander with the currants from the bowl and let the water drain.
Pour the berries into a deep saucepan. Using a masher, crush all the berries. The result is a paste that needs to be scooped up with a spoon and rubbed through a sieve in small portions. For jam we only need berry juice, so there should be no foreign inclusions there.
To squeeze out absolutely all the juice from the currants, leaving only a slightly damp cake, after rubbing the berries through a sieve, you need to squeeze the mass again, putting it in a linen bag. As a result, about 250-300 grams of pure currant juice will remain.
The finished juice should be poured into the bread maker bowl. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the juice. Pour pectin in there. Do not stir anything, as the device will do this automatically while the jam is being prepared.
The work is almost complete! All that remains is to set the “Jam” mode on the bread machine and press the “Start” button. In an hour, the redcurrant jam will be ready!
Homemade jam from a bread machine is a godsend for me. You only need to select, wash the berries and sterilize the container if long-term storage is intended. There is no need to stand at the stove, watch, stir, remove foam, etc. The bread maker handles all the cooking with ease.
One of the advantages of the method is that the composition of jam made from black currants or other berries and fruits has a fairly low sugar content. There is no need for semi-finished sachets of powdered agar-agar or pectin. All jams acquire a thick, gelled structure (a favorable environment is created inside the unit for the evaporation of moisture and the release of its own pectin).
The downside is that you can only make jam in small quantities. As a rule, a bread maker is capable of processing 500 g of fruits and berries and 150 g of granulated sugar at a time.
This recipe is for approximately 250 ml of finished product.
To make blackcurrant jam in a bread machine, take the ingredients from the list.
We wash the berries in cold water, discard dry and spoiled ones, and tear off the branches. Rinse and dry slightly.
Load clean blackcurrants into a container, pour in a spoon (or half a spoon) of lemon juice, add granulated sugar.
Shake so that the sugar is more or less evenly distributed.
We start the bread maker in the “Jam” mode and forget about cooking for 1 hour 20 minutes.
After the unit beeps, transfer the thick blackcurrant jam into a sterile jar, seal and cool.
Blackcurrant jam in the bread machine loses a lot of moisture and gels on its own.
Store on the refrigerator shelf. Enjoy your tea.

NameWoman has original and yet very simple recipes for you that will fill your home with the aromas of wonderful spices and give amazing, harmonious new tastes to you, your family and friends. In the article below, you will learn how to make jam from apples, pumpkin, lemons, oranges, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, black currants, and bananas in a bread machine. We will tell you how to store jam, whether it can be made from frozen berries, and what you need to pay special attention to in this case. You will find out which jam is added with pepper, which with rosemary, and what coriander goes best with.
The first photo of the article shows a dessert made in a bread machine in the “jam” mode from apples, sugar, frozen black currants and a small amount of chokeberries with the addition of ground cinnamon and lemon juice.
Are jam and preserves the same thing?
No, although these desserts are very similar, therefore often, when talking about one of them, they mean the other or, in principle, use these two culinary terms as synonyms. So, what is the difference between jam and preserves? The first has a more uniform consistency (the fruits used for its preparation are completely boiled) and is characterized by light gelling, which is obtained due to the interaction of pectin and acids. There is a lot of pectin in apples and plums. It is noteworthy that for the best jam, ripe and sometimes overripe berries and fruits are taken, while unripe fruits with a higher pectin content are most suitable for jam. Also, as a rule, jam differs from jam in that it is prepared at lower temperatures and for less time. Sometimes this is done in several stages, allowing the jam to cool. When making jam, a much larger amount of sugar is used than when making jam, and, accordingly, it is better stored. Formally, if you don’t want to be too principled in the field of culinary terminology and technology, you can also make jam using the “jam” function in a bread maker (do not forget that you can reduce the cooking time yourself by stopping the program manually).
How to make jam in a bread machine
To make jam in a bread maker, use the special “Jam” function. Place a spatula in the bucket, load all the ingredients, place the bucket in the bread maker, close it and turn it on. First, the fruit is heated and then cooked with constant stirring at a certain temperature. Now this function is available in almost all commercially available models. So if you look at the catalog of Redmond bread makers http://redmond.by/catalog/kategor/hlebopechki/, you will see that these modern household appliances have learned not only to knead dough, bake bread and make jam, but also prepare yogurt and meat. So desserts from a bread machine as such will surprise few people. You need to rely on unusual recipes...
Review the jam recipes included in your bread machine instructions. The most important point is the number of products. Stick to the appropriate values, adapting the recipes below to your model of device. As a rule, at one time you can load from 500-600 grams to a kilogram of fruits or berries prepared for making jam into the bread machine. The volume of the finished product (jam or jam), respectively, usually fits into a half-liter or two half-liter jars.
You can make jam in a bread machine with a thicker (more jelly) consistency if you add pectin to the sugar when adding ingredients. For 500-600 grams, it is enough to take 1-1.5 teaspoons of pectin. Pectin can be replaced with a special mixture for sweet canning - “zhelfix” (like pectin, it is mixed with sugar). We recommend choosing one of these additives if you are preparing jam from very juicy fruits (citrus fruits, melon, pineapples) in a bread machine.
Remember that when cooling, the jam prepared in the bread machine gels a little. If it seems to you that the finished product has the consistency of too liquid jam, then you can boil it a little in a saucepan on the stove.
Is it possible to make jam from frozen berries in a bread machine? Yes, you can. If you take frozen berries or fruits together with fresh ones (at room temperature) and the frozen fruits are only one third or no more than half, then you can immediately load them into the bread maker and turn it on. This device first activates the heating function and only then begins to stir the future jam, i.e. frozen ingredients will have time to thaw (make sure that your model of bread machine does not start kneading berries immediately after turning on the “jam” or “jam” mode!). If you plan to make jam in a bread maker only from frozen berries and fruits, then they should first be allowed to melt at room temperature. To prevent accidental damage to the inner coating of the bread machine bucket (coarse sugar can easily be classified as a coarse abrasive material), first mix the sugar with the other components of the future jam or jam in a separate bowl. After this, load everything into the bucket. You should not put sugar and fruits in the bread machine in two layers.
Added based on user comments: Having placed all the ingredients for making jam in a bucket, cover the top with foil (the matte side is outward and the reflective side is inward) and secure the edges. This will protect the inside of the bread machine and the walls from possible splashes.
After finishing the jam making program, immediately pour the contents of the bucket into jars and wash the bread maker bucket (pour more hot water into the hot bucket, gradually lowering the temperature).
How to store jam and marmalade made in a bread machine? After the finished product has cooled, close the jar with a lid and put the jam in the refrigerator. Traditional Russian jam is less capricious in terms of storage (it can be stored at room temperature) due to the use of a large amount of a natural preservative - sugar - when cooking (sugar and fruits or berries are usually taken in equal parts, and if the jam is made from vegetables, then the amount of sugar by weight completely exceeds the main jam product). In the recipes below, you will see that significantly less sugar is used to make jam in a bread machine.
Classic apple jam in a bread maker
For half a kilo of apples cut into slices (there is no need to finely chop the fruit, the jam will still be quite homogeneous), you need to take 150 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. It is believed that when preparing apple jam in a bread machine, it is not necessary to remove the peel from the fruit. However, not everyone likes its presence in jam. But most are delighted with those dried apple slices that remain on the walls of the bucket until the end of the jam preparation when kneading.
NameWoman, preserves and preserves made from a mixture of different fruits always taste more interesting. Home cooking is about exciting experiments. Therefore, the following are recipe options for a bread machine, where apples will have additional company to create a fragrant symphony of flavors. Use spices to impress family and friends. Try apple jam from a bread machine with the addition of cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest. If the fruits are very sweet, then you can make apple jam in a bread maker with lemon (one citrus is enough, cut it into circles directly with the zest and divide each circle into four sectors).
Orange jam in a bread maker
To make orange jam, we need half a kilo of orange slices (make sure there are no seeds) and 100 grams of fresh orange zest. Cut it into long narrow strips. For the indicated amount of citrus fruits, take 160 grams of granulated sugar.
If you prefer jam that is sweet rather than sour, then such jam can be made from a mixture of orange and apples in equal proportions. The jam looks interesting, in the bread machine recipe for which a handful of raisins are added to the oranges.
Recipe for pumpkin jam in a bread machine
Hot-spicy pumpkin jam in a bread maker (the cheerful red contents of the jars in the photo on the right) is a very impressive flavor combination. To ensure that the finished product does not turn out cloying, in this case you will definitely need citrus fruits. Cook 200 grams of pumpkin pulp cut into small cubes over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. We drain the water. Mix pumpkin with 180 grams of sugar, 100 grams of sliced apple and 250 grams of orange or tangerine slices. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 5 allspice peas and 5 cloves, crushed with a mortar - this combination is typical for jams and compotes from American cuisine. For those who like savory jams, we also recommend adding 1-2 tablespoons of orange zest and finely chopped three cloves of fresh ginger.
Recipe for lemon jam in a bread machine
Cut 4 medium-sized lemons into slices, cut each slice in half, remove all seeds. Mix the lemons, along with the juice released from the citrus fruits, with 500 grams of sugar, add the seeds of half a vinyl pod (can be replaced with vanilla sugar) and 10 ml of fresh apple juice.
Strawberry jam in a bread maker
According to the recipe for strawberry jam, half a kilo of strawberries requires 150 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Does the recipe seem too banal to you? Then, when preparing strawberry jam in a bread machine, you can add 2/3 teaspoon of cinnamon and ground seeds of one star anise. Advice from NameWoman: strawberry jam will take on an interesting note if, immediately after preparing it, transferring the hot mixture into a jar, add chopped leaves from two or three sprigs of basil.
When making jam in a bread machine, fresh lemon juice can, in principle, be replaced with citric acid. Instead of a tablespoon of juice, take a pinch of citric acid or a little less than half a teaspoon.
Simple blueberry jam
For 450 grams of blueberries you will need a tablespoon of lemon juice and 130 grams of granulated sugar.
Cherry jam in a bread machine
As when making strawberry jam in a bread machine, for 500 grams of berries (after removing the seeds), take 150 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Cherry and blackcurrant jam with spices and ginger
You can make wonderful sweet and sour jam in a bread maker if you use both cherries and black currants to prepare it. In the cold season, frozen berries are perfect for these purposes. If you want to reduce the sour notes, then replace half the berries with chopped sweet apple pieces. The secret recipe for this jam is to add half a teaspoon each of cinnamon powder and ground coriander. Another trick to get a unique taste is to include finely chopped fresh ginger root (literally 2 cm) in the ingredients. Calculate the ratio of the fruit and berry component to sugar as in the recipe for cherry jam for a bread machine – 10:3.
Attention: if you are making jam in a bread machine from frozen cherries that were originally sold as such, NameWoman recommends first defrosting them at room temperature and making sure there are no seeds. Cherry pits often cause scratches on the paddle and the inner lining of the bread machine bucket. For the same reason, it is not recommended to cook jam from raspberries and red currants in a bread machine.
Apricot jam
For 540 grams of pitted apricot halves, take 150 grams of sugar, as well as a tablespoon of lemon juice.
The apricot jam you have prepared will get an interesting twist if you add a prepared sprig of rosemary to the hot mixture and pour the contents along with it into a jar for storing the jam. Also, at the very beginning, putting the ingredients for the future piquant apricot jam into the bread machine bucket, you can add half a teaspoon of chopped dry rosemary and pink pepper.
By the way, sweet apricots can be used instead of apples when preparing jam with cherries and blackcurrants in a bread machine.
Banana jam with orange notes
Cut 3 large bananas into slices, add 200 grams of sugar, juice from three large oranges and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Ground coriander goes amazingly well with bananas in compotes and jam. Add a teaspoon of this spice when making jam in a bread machine.
Recipe for jam in a bread machine from bananas and black currants
You can make amazing, tender jam in a bread maker if you take 250 grams of black currants and bananas and mix them with 350 grams of sugar.
