Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker (by Jarden Home Brands)

I absolutely love this jam maker…you just can’t go wrong with it. I made 3 different jams, making sure that it cooled down in between. Easy to keep clean and comes with a recipe booklet. Love it!

I made some Damson jam with this machine and was very pleased with the outcome. You have to follow the recipe correctly to get the right results. If you like large bits of fruit in your jam this might not work, it produces a smooth jam as the fruit is chop up, I used my food processor for this, quite finely. I made 2 lots of jam and both batches were good. It was hassle free and the best bit no burnt pan at the end! Very easy to clean.

I love it

Love it but couple of times needed to cool and re do the procedure

All went well , she is very pleased.

This product is useless it will not make jam. I have followed instructions to the letter but the jam is still like water so will not set. Previously I always used Tefal jam maker and never had a problem

Stinks of plastic and can't get the smell away, no spare parts can be bought

All l could smell was metallic smell don't buy

Encantada, una forma muy rápida de hacer mermelada

I absolutely love this machine! I love to make jam but I hate to stand over a pot of boiling fruit for half an hour in 90 degree weather so when I saw this I fell in love. This is super easy to use - you just put in your pectin and your fruit and turn it on. Four minutes later you slowly add your sugar, pop the lid on, and wait for it to finish. I use that time to set up my stock pot with my jars. Since it only makes about 4 - 8 oz jars (plus another two or three ounces extra which I immediately use on toast to sample) I can use a small rack in my stock pot, filling it only part way, and not have to drag out my giant canning pot. It takes up less room on the stove, is easier to fill and empty, and takes a LOT less time to boil. By the time the cycle is finished the jars are all set to go and I have my little assembly line set up. I just fill my jars and pop the in the pot - which takes maybe five minutes. Then I process as usual. While the jars are processing I clean up the jam maker and by the time the jars are finished processing everything is washed and put away! It's wonderful! And entire batch of jam from start to finish in just about an hour! I hand wash my jam maker and it's super easy to get all the sticky jam off the nonstick surface. I just use a regular sponge (no scrubby sponge required) and everything comes off beautifully. I know some people are concerned that it only makes four jars at a time, but I find that to be the perfect amount. When I do have lots of fruit (I've done nearly 25 pounds of plums, and about 20 pounds of blueberries so far) I just prepare it (puree/crush/whatever) and measure it out in the quantity I need for a single batch, placing it in quart size Ziploc bags which I then freeze. Then I just take a bag out of the freezer the night before and put it in the fridge and I have the perfect amount of fruit already premeasured to make a batch the next day. It's worked out very well with the several batches I've made so far. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to make jam! It's perfect and jam making returns to being a joy instead of a chore!

This is the best purchase I've made since I bought my Kitchenaid mixer and my Vitamix. I am using it for much more than must jam and jelly! Not only does it make perfect jam and jelly, but last week I put in nine diced onions + 2T olive oil and it stirred it for the thirty minutes without burning. I then had perfectly sautéed diced onions. Then I made a peparade recipe where you sautee thinly sliced red, yellow and orange peppers with diced onions, olive oil, and a large can of diced tomatoes plus spices. It stirred it perfectly, cooked it down to an amazingly flavored side dish. I have found it easy to find jam and jelly recipes that will work in this too without following the book's recipes exactly. For instance, we use no sugar needed pectin so then we can only add 3/4 cup sugar and top up the sweetness using splenda. Oh, and it beeps to tell you when to add the sugar! It works great, thickens perfectly and sets like a dream. You can set the time for anything from 1-30 minutes. For other recipes like sautéing stuff, if you need to go longer than 30 minutes, just let the appliance cool for a few minutes then you can reprogram it for up to 30 minutes again. BEST BUY EVER!!

Makes making jam super easy and quick! Impressed with how fast I can make a batch and how easy clean up is. Can even make a batch on a work night. Makes it not an all-day-project. Makes small batches so can try new recipes and experiment. I thought it was a lot of money for what it was so I waited years to treat myself to one. But I use it so much, it was worth the investment.
