There’s something special about homemade jam—the rich, fruity flavor, the simple ingredients, and the slow-cooked goodness that brings out the best in every bite. 🍓🍑🍇 This Slow Cooker Amish Jam is an easy way to make delicious, old-fashioned jam with minimal effort. Just toss your favorite fruit, sugar, and a touch of lemon juice 🍋 into the slow cooker, and let time do the work. Whether you spread it on warm biscuits 🥞, drizzle it over pancakes 🥞, or gift it to a friend 🎁, this homemade jam is sure to bring a taste of tradition to your table! ❤️
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, peaches, blueberries, or mixed berries)
2 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 packet (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (optional for thicker jam)
Instructions:
Add the fruit, sugar, and lemon juice to the slow cooker. Stir well.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
If using pectin, stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Mash the fruit with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Pour into sterilized jars and let cool. Refrigerate or can for long-term storage.
Note: For best results, use ripe, high-quality fruit for a naturally sweet flavor. If you prefer a thicker jam, adding pectin is optional but helpful. Store in sterilized jars and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks, or process in a water bath for longer shelf life. Enjoy your homemade Amish jam on toast, biscuits, or even as a topping for desserts! 🍓🥄
This jam is perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or even drizzling over desserts. Let me know if you want a specific fruit version! 🍓🍑🍇
