Jam making in a bread maker

I have been busy since my last post I have harvested plums,Blackberries, Apples, Elderberries,
and Pears, then turning them into Jams and chutneys, Wine,syrups, cordials and freezing any spare in the freezer.
The freezer is now full so it will have to be Wines,syrups,jams, chutneys,and dehydrate and store in airtight jars.

We have had shelving put up in the back toilet so we can see all the jars and bottles as when we had them in a cupboard we could not see what we had and some got over looked.
The jams in the picture below are from left to right Nectarine and mango, Strawberry, both made in the bread maker, and finally chili pepper jelly made on the stove.

To make jam in the bread maker I put in 2 cup full of Fruit which has been squashed with a potatoes masher or food processor the colour stays and doesn't go dark like it would when its been cooked on the stove.

recipe for making jam in a bread maker.
Fruit 2 cups full of fruit mashed or blitzed in the food processor.
3 cups of sugar with added pectin.
If you cant get sugar with added pectin then use 3 teaspoons of lemon juice.
Put in the bread maker and set to jam program. my bread maker takes 1hour 20Min's.
Still picking the odd Field mushrooms when out with the dogs but not enough to dry in large lots.
Barbara is at work tomorrow so I will take over the Kitchen after taking the dogs out in the morning and wine bottling in the afternoon.
I have a recipe for tomatoes jam from a friend I have lots of tomatoes so I may have a go at making some.

I hope not to leave it so long before I post.
