Bread Machine Jam

This is SO quick and easy and makes the house smell amazing! I had a ton of organic raspberries from the sale this week and made one regular and 3 double batches of this today! Our freezer is stocked!

Strawberry Jam

1 c. sugar
1 T. powdered low-sugar fruit pectin (I bought the regular kind by mistake but it turned out fine.)
1 and 1/2 c. fresh strawberries, sliced OR same amount of raspberries or other fruit mashed with potato masher)
2 tsp. lemon juice

1. Combine all ingredients into bread pan.
2. Select Basic setting.
3. Let machine run 5-6 minutes, scraping sides of the pan with rubber spatula. Stop machine to cancel.
4. Select Bake setting and re-start machine.
5. When machine is done (mine is a 1 hour cycle), turn it off. Use oven mitts to remove the pan. Pour jam into containers; cover. Refrigerate to set. Makes about 3 cups. Can be doubled. Can be frozen.
