Nowthere are a few ways to get your ideal jam texture. You can mash the strawberries a bit before hitting go on the bread maker or you can use an immersion blender afterwards (briefly- just a few pulses) to make it a bit more smooth.

The jam will thicken overnight in the fridge, but will still be somewhat fluid, like a super thick strawberry syrup, perfect for topping biscuits, mixing in with peanut butter for a delicious sandwich or drizzling over yogurt or ice cream.

Fruit contains natural pectic (under ripe fruit contains more, so you may want to use a mix of ripe and slightly under ripe strawberries), but if you like your finished product stickier, you can certainly add pectin.

I am such a wannabe minimalist as well. It helped to live in a tiny dorm for a year- when I cam back, I got rid of boxes of things that I no longer used. It was seriously eye-opening. We have a bread machine as well, but I could not tell you the last time anyone in my family used it. I should take it out of the corner of the highest cabinet and put it to use! You are inspiring me Brittany.

Unfortunately it is not recommended to make jam in a bread machine that does not have the specific setting. The paddle movement and temperature needed for jam is difficult to replicate with any other setting. I wish I could help more!

Excellent easy recipe! I love using my my bread machine for so many things. I used frozen strawberries. Used 2.5 tablespoons of liquid pectin and the jam came out good. The smell of cooking berries was making my mouth water. Will use this recipe again with other fruit. Thanks!

This is the best recipe for strawberry jam in a bread maker that I have found. I think my search is over! My family and I picked strawberries and we needed to figure out what to do with all of them. It was the perfect consistency and sweetness but still flavorful from the fruit. I highly recommend this recipe if you are searching for one.

No luck with making good jam with the bread machines. But yes, you can can it after that. I ended up making an actual jam maker. The results are better, and my bread machine is not a complete mess (it splashes outside the bread pan).

Hi, I have been canning jams and jelly for a last two. I just received a Hamilton Beach Bread maker with a jam setting. The question I have is after processing the jam or jelly in the bread maker. I like to know after putting the jam or jelly in 8oz. jars, would I be able to hot water bath them.

I've had the Zo Virtusoso for a couple years now and a Williams Sonoma BM before that. Both work fine... The best way to think about these machines conceptually is to to use them on manual/Custom programming mode and then the machine acts as a mixing machine and a kneading machine and a shaping machine and a baking machine. Custom mode allows you to use any feature combined or separately as you choose then you can adapt to any bread recipe as necessary. Super flexible that way. I will say that in my experience it really helps to pull the dough after the first rise in custom or automatic mode, quick 2 minute knead and roll into a log and put back in with or without the paddles for a better 2 lb loaf with no sinking in the middle every time.

Baking bread at high altitude can definitely be tricky, Therese, and the heat of a bread machine can make it even trickier. At high-altitude you may find that using your bread machine purely for mixing and kneading is the best approach.

I have had a bread machine for a very long time. After getting tired of the shape, I'd just use it on "dough" mode, then shape and bake in the oven. Now I just pull it out to make dough for cinnamon rolls for holiday.

I got my first bread machine, the Hitachi HB-101, in September 1998. Until then, I'd never made bread! No one else I knew had a bread maker and all the recipes I found made two loaves and weren't meant for a bread maker, so I was pretty much on my own. I had to adapt recipes! After working at it for about 2 months, I became proficient and never had a loaf that "sank" or rose too high and stuck to the top of the bread maker and oozed over the sides. My children got tired of home made bread. "We want Wonder Bread!!" Peer pressure sucks. I persevered and soon was using the bread maker for doughs that I would form and bake in the oven. After about 15 years, I wore out the finish in the bread pan, and since no replacement part was available, I got another machine. This was a Breville horizontal loaf maker. I hated that machine. The only redeeming quality it had was that it had a little compartment that would open up and drop any "mix ins" and then mix it into the bread. I was so happy when one day two years ago, while it was mixing, it was a little off-balance and it leapt off of the kitchen counter and crashed onto the floor. I now have a Cuisinart CBK=200, which is adequate, but doesn't do well with specialty doughs like Squaw Bread or Spinach and Feta, and that is mainly because I can't program it. Another thing that's a pain is putting in and removing the pan from the machine. It takes too much "oomph" to push the pan in to make it "click" in place. I'm debating whether to wait for it to die or not! Are there any "cons" to the Virtuoso Plus that I should be aware of before buying?

I read most of the reviews on King Arthur's website, and I also read the reviews on Amazon, and was still in the "seesaw" stage of a decision when I received the Zo Virtuoso Plus as a gift! It wasn't even a birthday or Christmas, either! This breadmaker has a bit of a learning curve. First off, I shut off the hold function where it supposedly brings all the ingredients to temperature. That was annoying. I love the fact that it tells you what time it will be done rather than tell you how long it will take and let you figure the time of day. I am a bit annoyed that the recipes that came with it are for one large loaf only. I don't like the shape of 2 lb. loaves in the breadmaker. I find that the slices are too tall, and end up taking the dough out and baking the bread in a longer bread pan. But after having breadmakers for so long, I have plenty of recipes for 1 lb., 1 1/2 lb., and 2 lb. loaves. I have ALWAYS been hands-on with all of my breadmakers... pushing down the dough and scraping the sides, checking how wet or dry the dough is. And I started taking out the paddle in my first breadmaker, the Hitachi HB-101 vertical breadmaker. I find that the Zo mixes and kneads the dough better than any of the breadmakers I have had, most times making scraping the sides unnecessary. When making a smaller than 2 lb. loaf, the dough ends up lopsided or on one side of the bread pan, making it necessary to take the dough out and shape it if you want to bake it in the machine. Since I live in Southern California, I do use the Zo to bake the bread rather than heat up the house using the oven during the summer months. No breadmaker does everything. I am very pleased with the Zo and will use it in concert with the Cuisinart Convection breadmaker, Emile Henry Italian Loaf Baker, and all the different sizes of bread pans I have.

My bread machine bread recipe makes a beautiful 2-pound loaf of white bread. If you want a smaller loaf, simply cut the ingredients in half and choose the appropriate setting on your bread machine. Or, bake a 2 lb loaf, then freeze half of it until you need it, later.

As the dough starts kneading keep an eye on the process for the first 5-10 minutes making sure that the dough has formed into a soft, round ball. If for some reason the dough looks very loose after all flour has been incorporated add a little bit more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time until it forms into a ball.

Remove and cool: Once the cycle is complete and the alarm goes off, use mittens to remove the bread pan out of the bread machine. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then shake the bread out onto a cooling rack to cool for at least 40 minutes before slicing. If the kneading peddle tends to come off and stay inside the bread after baking, remove it before slicing.

My first attempt at this recipe did not go well. The dough was wet so I added more flour but not enough. The top caved in. I altered the recipe and it came out much better the 2nd time. The bread tasted good and was soft and light.

I used 4 cups of flour and only 1 tsp of yeast.

I was happy with result

Thought it would be a little higher a bit on small size. Jennifer...@gmail.com If I put a little bit of an increase in the ingredients it might com up a bit higher. Will try that a let u know.

when I put my ingredients in and it mixes, it looks like it has blended well. when i put the loaf out there are large clumps of unblended flour in the loaf. any ideas on how to get ingredients blended through the loaf?

Just check on the dough halfway through mixing and if needed gently move the dough with a spoon to encourage it to pick up the dry bits of flour. Some mixers are better at mixing then others and this might help it.

This recipe was a hit, the whole family commented on how how delicious the loaf was. It slices really well and holds its shape. So will be great for lunches etc. Very tasty and super easy. Makes a good sized loaf for a standard sized bread maker.

Hi Marina,

Thanks for the recipe. I found a great old Sunbeam electric knife at the thrift store, you can still buy them new, to perfectly and quickly slice my bread loaf 10 minutes out of the machine. The action of each of the two parellel blades moving in the opposite direction at the same time, slices without disturbing the structure of the bread!
