Ninja Foodi Blender Cold & Hot - HB150

I think one of my favorite functions of the Foodi™ Blender is the ability to make jams, jellies, and compotes from fresh fruit. Not only is fresh jam delicious, but it lets you use up leftover fruit before it goes bad. While I know how to make jams and jellies on the stovetop, I never wanted to spend time watching over the pot, mashing the fruit, and ensuring that it cooks down without burning. With the Foodi™ Blender, I don't have to babysit the stove. I simply toss in the ingredients, push a button, and walk away. About 30 minutes later, fresh, hot jam is ready to go! Then I use the CLEAN function, so cleanup is a breeze.The best way to enjoy fresh jam? Paired with crusty bread and fresh ricotta. Perfect for breakfast, an appetizer, or a little after-dinner treat.
