Luvachicken Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Actually I bought it at the begining of the summer holidays - but haven't got round to using it Then the other day I got out the instructions, then I washed it all and then I didn't have enough sugar. It came with 2 free tins of ready to make jam, so I bought some sugar yesterday and made the strawberry jam tin in 2 batches today. It smells lovely Just got to wait till tomorrow to put it on my toast. Next step making onion chutney from scratch. It was dead easy to use and a doddle to wash up. Would recommend it, I got mine in Lakeland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Is it the Tefal one? I got mine from Ebay at the beginning of the year. I have made pots and pots of jam but I haven't tried chutney in it yet. I was going to make lemon marmalade this afternoon but I have just remembered I said I would work an extra shift today Never mind, as you said it is so easy to use and clean I will make the marmalade tomorrow evening. Have you got the extra recipe sheets? I got them by phoning Tefal customer services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 OOOooo, ali-s, no I haven't got the extra recipe sheets although it did come with a little recipe booklet. And yes it is the tefal one Here is the link...I hope it works http://www.lakeland.co.uk/12613/Tefal-Electric-Jam-Maker They have put the price up though. I bought mine for £ 99. I will let you know how I get on with the onion chutney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I've had mine ages now - the Tefal one. Love it! Have you made rice pudding in it yet? Yummy. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Do I need this? Hmm think I might. The maker itself looks quite stylish too. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Do I need this? Hmm think I might. The maker itself looks quite stylish too. Thanks for the link. That made me smile especially as My OH said "no-one eats jam in our house" And if you have a bread maker it might have a jam button on it. Mind you I tried that and it made a right mess inside the bread machine...hence getting the jam maker. I love eating anything home made. The rice pudding sounds good....perhaps after I've made the onion pickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 OOOooo, ali-s, no I haven't got the extra recipe sheets The extra recipe sheets are, Pineapple Jam (tradition P3), Pineapple Jam (quick P4), Lime Marmalade, Grapefruit Marmalade and Mamade Orange Marmalade ( similar to the Lakeland tinned marmalade). I also got t a few other recipe sheets, the recipes are actually in my Tefal recipe booklet so maybe there are different versions of the recipe booklet. They are, Spiced Red Tomato Chutney, Hot Mango Chutney, Cider Apple Chutney, Raspberry Jam and dried Apricot Jam. If you would like copies of the recipes I could photocopy them and send them to you.

Yum, pineapple jam sounds good and so does cider apple chutney. Can you send them down the inter net ? That would save you posting them or shall I just phone Tefal ? As for the tin of jam, it did taste of strawberries but it was a bit toffyfied so took a bit of spreading. Can't wait for Summer so I can make proper strawberry jam. Haven't made the onion pickle yet - too tired after work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I am not very good on the computer so I don't think I would be able to send the recipes that way. It is a wonder I manage to get on here. You could try Tefal customer services. When I phoned for the sheets I received them the next day. If you can't get copies I really don't mind sending them.

Luvachicken Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I am not that good on the pc either. I usually get OH or DS to help me If it's ok with you I will phone Tefal and then if I get no luck, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Okey dokey, here we go. I will post the recipes when I have a quiet minute or two, now seems a good time to start. Cider Apple Chutney Desserts (P5). Cooking time about 30 minutes. Yield about 2 1/2 lb 700g Bramley cooking apples 700g onions 150g sultanas finely grated rind and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon 350g demerara sugar 300ml cider vinegar 1. peel, core and dice the apples into 1cm pieces. Finely chop the onions. 2. Add all the ingredients to the bowl. Cover with the lid. Select program P5 and press OK, then select the cooking time of 30 minutes and press OK. After cooking for 20 minutes regularly check the consistency every 5 minutes to avoid overcooking. The chutney should be thick and pulpy with no excess liquid. It is ready when a wooden spoon drawn through the pan leaves a clear trail that only very slowly fills with juice. 3. Allow to cool a little, then ladle into clean, warm jars. Cover and label. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for 6 to 8 weeks to mature in flavour. Use within 1 year. Serve with Cheese, cold meats, pates and sausages. Variations Instead of cider vinegar you can use clear malt vinegar instead. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your personal taste. Add 1 level teaspoon ground ginger and 1 level teaspoon ground allspice for a spicier taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Pineapple Jam Tradition (P3). Cooking time 1 hour. Yield about 4 lb 1.5kg fresh pineapple (about 2 pineapples) 1 lemon 100ml water 700g granulated sugar 1. peel, core and cut the pineapple into 1cm cubes. Alternatively crush the pineapple with a rolling pin or masher. Put the pineapple, sugar and juice of one lemon (retaining the lemon shell) in a non metallic bowl and mix well. leave for about an hour, turning every 15 minutes or so. You will find the pineapple will release a lot of juice. 2. Place the pineapple mixture into the jam maker bowl and add the water. Add the lemon shells as they will help the jam to set. 3. Select programme P3 and press OK, then select the cooking time indicated above and press OK. 4. Test for a set, when cooking is finished. Skim off any scum or add butter to disperse. Remove the lemon shells and pour into your prepared, warm jam jars. Seal the jars tightly and leave them to cool overnight. Note: This recipe has not been tested by Tefal and therefore we cannot guarantee that it will work. Some experimentation with quantities may be necessary.

peachachecha Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am soooo jealous, we can't get the jam maker here in the states!!! Hopefully some day we will. All those recipes sound so wonderful. I will keep looking and maybe I will get lucky and find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 ok, not wishing to sound negative, but how does a jam maker differ from making jam using a preserving pan. I know its electric, but what are the advantages... thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Advantage is you don't have to stand over it stirring - it does it for you. Also, no sugar thermometor needed or testing of setting point. So you can get on with other things whilst it's cooking. I love mine.

ali-s Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I love mine too OH works for a jam, soup company, the one that make royal game soup and he says my tefal jam is miles better. Cleaning the machine is a doddle. Just fill with cold water and a squirt of washing up liquid, press the cleaning button on the machine and the machine cleans itself. All I have to do is wash the ladle and jam funnel, tip out the soapy water from the jam maker, wipe round with a cloth and put the machine away.

ali-s Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hartleys Orange Mamade (tinned Oranges) (Works well with the Lakeland Ltd version) Programme:- Tradition (P3) Yield:- about 6 lbs As a full tin (850g) only just fits in the Tefal jam maker, to avoid any risk of the mixture boiling over we advise reducing the quantity of sugar from that stated on the tin to 1.7kg / 3 3/4 lb. We feel reducing the amount of sugar does not substantially alter the taste of the marmalade and in fact improves it by giving it a fuller orange flavour. 1 tin (850g) Hartleys orange marmalde (or Lakeland) 425 ml cold water (as marked on the marmalade tin) 1.7kg/3 3\34 lb granulated sugar Add all the ingredients to the bowl starting with the mamade (or Lakeland), then the water and finally the sugar. Select Tradition programme (P3) and set for 15 minutes, then validate by pressing OK. When the contents reach the required temperature (after about 10 minutes), the cooking time begins and the timer starts to count down. At the end of the cooking time, the jam maker stops and beeps; press the OK button to stop the beep. Test for a test. To test if the marmalade is set, place a teaspoon of hot marmalade on a cold saucer and allow to cool for 1 minute, then push the surface with your fingertip. If the surface wrinkles the setting point is reached. If not, keep retesting in 3 to 5 minutes intervals until a satisfactory set is obtained. Remove any scum. Leave the marmalade for 2-3 minutes before pouring into warmed jars. Cover and seal with jam papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its electric, but what are the advantages... thanks. I got mine because I like the idea of doing something else while it does all the work. And even washing it up was a doddle - just fill it with water and a splodge of washing up liquid and it cleans itself And thank you Ali-s for all your lovely recipes and for taking the time to put them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
