It's never been easier to make and enjoy delicious homemade spreads year-round! This convenient, automatic electric cooker makes small batches of jam and jelly in under 30 minutes from juice, fresh fruit, or frozen fruit: just add pectin and sugar. Make simple spreads or craft creative combinations using blueberries, peaches, strawberries, and other fruits -- even peppers! Each batch makes approximately 4 cups, and will fill approximately four half-pint (8oz.) jars. No more standing over a hot stove stirring, waiting for preserves to be ready. Just add ingredients to the pot, select the Jam or Jelly button, and place the lid on top. The Jam and Jelly Maker automatically stirs as it cooks, preventing scorching, and beeps when cooking is complete. Let the spread cool and enjoy immediately or can it or freeze it for long term storage. The pot is removable from the base, nonstick, and can go in the dishwasher with the glass lid and stirring paddle for easy clean up. Material: Metal.
