STRAWBERRY JAM IN BREAD MAKER
400 g fresh strawberries trimmed
310 g Jam sugar
1 ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Roughly chop or mash the fruit and place into the bread maker pan with the other ingredients. Set program on Jam and press start.
Once the cycle has ended, open the lid and remove the pan BE CAREFUL THE PAN IS VERY VERY HOT AND A LOT OF STEAM WILL BE EMITTED.
Very carefully ladle the jam into clean, dry jars, cover and allow to cool before storing.

TAKE NOTE
Never be tempted to double or increase the quantities given in the recipe, the sugar and fruit get extremely hot, large quantities may lead to bubbling up and cause the jam to spill over onto the element causing damage.
Jam sugar is widely available. Ordinary sugar can be used in the recipe but some liquid pectin will have to be added to ensure the jam to set. Use approx 1 tablespoon. of pectin to every 500 g of sugar.
