Customer Comments and Feedback

If you are new to jam making or even to the notion of using an automated cooking process, then reading reviews could really help you decide if this is an item that you should purchase.

• AMAZING! Is what I would call this jam and jelly maker.
• Even better, little mess and no burns! I love this machine, I can't wait to see how the fair judges rate the jams and jellies. Since posting this review, I won Grand Champion at the county fair for the raspberry jam. Is this cheating???
• Being over 70 and having spent my life in the kitchen both canning veggies and making jellies I want to THANK THE PERSON WHO INVENTED THIS JAM MAKER....IT IS FANTASTIC... (I must admit the first few times I used it I felt a wee bit lazy...but...)it comes out just right every time and I have been experimenting with different jams and jellies other than what the book gives ....and it works! I have told everyone who would listen to buy one for their wife, grandmother, girlfriend whoever likes to make homemade....so I am 1 HAPPY CUSTOMER...

And here is the process one lady uses to make her jam with this machine:

Making jam WITH Jam and Jelly Maker

Mash up fruit. Put in maker. Sprinkle pectin on top.
Turn on machine. Wait for four-minute beep. Add sugar.
Go watch Breaking Bad on DVR for 17 minutes.
Jam maker beeps, jam is done! Skim small amount of foam.
Process jam in jars.
Pan, lid and stirrer from jam maker clean up in about 5 minutes.

This really does sound like a wonderful machine that simplifies the jam making process. One thing to note is that you will need to use their recipe and method for your jam. One customer noted that her recipes didn’t work that well, until she adjusted them.
