4 cups of berries before or after smashing? Thank you.

i have a foam problem in a large scale jam making (via vacuum). can butter solve the problem of loosing material through excessive foam?

[brianpfs]

I have never made jam in the vacuum cleaner but a small amount of butter certainly works with smaller batches. A slower alternative is to use a metal spoon and scrape off foam as it occurs. The amount of foam seems to lessen as the cooking time progresses. Perhaps one of the American canning companies would be willing to share their procedure.

Thank you for your interest.

Hi Sheila,

I am not much of a butter person, can I not add the butter? If I don't add the butter what would happen other than having to remove more foam from the boil? If I do have to add butter, can I use "Fake Butter" and still get the same results?

Thanks, Evan

thank you brian for doing this for others.  I used to watch my gradmother do jam as well but could never help with the process. the is the same way she used to do it. I am so glad I found these video. I did save them for reference. My store has strawberries for 1.00 a carton. Will be doing this, this weekend. Tell Miss Shelia thanks for me.

I have watched all three videos and made a HUGE batch with 4KG of strawberry's. here in Spain the supermarkets are flooded with them at this time of year.

I now have 8 big jars of the best jam and several very satisfied friends..... thank you for your help...old school is always best in my book!
