Freezer Jam

This is the freezer jam we made at the bread making class. Enjoy it on the whole wheat bread you make.

1. Mix well: 5 cups mashed fruit or berries with 1/2 cup corn syrup.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups sugar and 3 tablespoons clear jell powder.
3. Add together the berry mixture and the sugar mixture until all sugar crystals have dissolved.
4. Put into containers and freeze or just eat. This has less sugar than most jams so it may spoil or mildew quicker. We eat it too fast so it isn't a problem.

Regular Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups warm water
2 tablespoons instant yeast

2/3 cup oil
2 tablespoons dough enhancer or gluten
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 or 1 cup cooked oatmeal (optional)
about 16 cups flour

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (when in a small loaf pans)

Reduced stuff for healthier bread: Can cup oil, sugar, and/or salt in half.
