    Question for Vita Mix users

    I want to make rasberry jam (sure jell box).  I was wondering if I put the berries in the vitamix if it was okay to have it more of a juice than chunks of berries.  I do not like the seeds in the jam but I do not want to strain it either.  I was not sure if it would set or not if I did it that way.


    Thanks

    it will pulverize and liquify the seeds-probably imparting a bad color and taste. Do it the old way. I personally like jam, but not too many seeds, so I do half with the seeds and add juice to it--some seeds, but not many in proportion. I did a version of Alton Browns tomato sauce--basically roasted seeded, but not peeled tomatoes in the oven for 2.5 hours, no salt, then vitamixed the cooked tomatoes, some small amount of seeds were left, and peels--perfectly smooth!!! Then I heated it enough to can and added salt at that time. No more spitting on the stove and scorching and it's a whole food!
