A multicooker is, of course, an unusual thing. It replaces almost all kitchen appliances from the frying pan to the oven. You can cook almost everything in it, from soup and porridge to casseroles and baking bread. But with jam cooking, everything is not so simple. After all, we cook jam in basins, kilograms and tens of liters, and in the largest cartoon, the bowl will pull 6 liters at most. Therefore, jam in a slow cooker is prepared more for the pleasure of drinking tea than for preparations for the winter. Although, if the family is not numerous, and 2-3 jars for the winter is enough, you can cook jam in a little helper. 
Not everyone will like to cook jam in a slow cooker, if only because jam made in this way modern way still not entirely authentic. The principle of jam cooking is the digestion of moisture from berries or fruits. When cooking in a basin without a lid, this process takes place quickly, the jam thickens, becoming viscous. In a slow cooker, the moisture does not have time to evaporate, although the berries or pieces of fruit are already ready by the end of the regime. But if the appearance and consistency of the jam is not so important to you, then you can try to cook it in a slow cooker.
Handling the multicooker requires some caution. When making jam, do not pour undissolved sugar into the bowl, as stirring it can damage the coating of the bowl. When pouring jam, you should use silicone or plastic ladles. The multicooker bowl should not be filled more than ⅓, but 
better by ¼, because when cooking, the jam strives to escape from the multicooker through the valve cover onto the table. It is better to cook jam in the “Stew” or “Soup” mode (different manufacturers call this mode differently), that is, use the languishing mode. In this mode, the jam does not burn, the berries do not boil soft, however, the jam is not too thick. It is best to remove the steam valve immediately - this way more moisture will evaporate from the jam. Water, as when cooking on the stove, does not need to be added. True, the multicooker does not release from the obligation to remove the foam.
The slow cooker is ideal for harvesting berries without sugar. Just put the berries in the multicooker bowl, set the "Extinguishing" mode and stir occasionally, removing the foam. The cooking time depends on the number of berries, but in any case, boil the berries without sugar for at least an hour. Transfer the berries to sterilized jars and roll up immediately. On the lids before rolling, you can splash a little vodka - for a guaranteed result. Roll up the jars immediately turn upside down and wrap with a blanket.
The ratio of sugar and berries for jam in a slow cooker is often the same as when cooking on the stove. The amount of sugar can be reduced, but be sure to roll up the jars and store them in a cool place.

Preparatory activities
It all starts with preparing the dishes. You should not neglect the rules, so carefully study each item of these recommendations so that the jam turns out fragrant, tasty and stands for a long time:
- As for the dishes for cooking jam, it will be a multicooker saucepan. In general, this device is simply unique for cooking. various dishes and will always help out the hostess, save time for cooking. The container itself must be thoroughly washed and preferably wiped dry. If before you were going to cook strawberry jam in a slow cooker, you made caviar, cooked borscht, pilaf or fried cutlets, then it is advisable to prepare the container more carefully. Pour water into the multicooker pan, add a couple of slices of lemon, turn on the "Soup" or "Heating" mode. After 30 minutes, you can turn off the device, drain the water and rinse the bowl again. This way you can get rid of the smell of food. Also remember to wash the valve and the inside of the lid to remove odors.

- Before you start cooking strawberry jam in a slow cooker, you need to prepare a container: wash each jar and sterilize. It can be done different ways: steamed or in the oven (temperature not higher than 100 o). If there are not many jars, you can sterilize in a slow cooker.
- How to sterilize jars: Pour 2-3 cups of water (directly from the tap) into the saucepan, depending on the size of the bowl. Immediately put the pre-washed seam lids on the bottom, because they also need to be processed. Place a steaming basket on top and place as many cans as you can. Banks must be placed upside down. And now it remains only to install the program, it will be the “Paired” mode. Sterilization time from the moment the water boils is about 10 minutes for small jars (500 ml) and about 15 minutes for liter jars. If you just brought the jars from the store and did not store anything in them, then the hot steam treatment time for such containers is reduced. Then you can sterilize the jars for 5 minutes. If you do not have this program, you can use any other: "Soup", "Pilaf" or "Baking".
- After the specified time, the jars must be removed from the double boiler and put on a clean towel with the bottom up. In this position, you need to leave the container for 3-5 minutes, so that the excess liquid slides along the walls and is absorbed into the towel.
- Turn the jars over, leave them on the table, now just cover the top with a clean towel. Transfer the lids to a bowl, you can leave them in hot water.
- Also, to cook strawberry jam in a slow cooker, you will need a slotted spoon, a wooden spoon and a deep plate (you can take a bowl) to collect the foam when the jam boils.

- Berries must be sorted out, cleaned of leaves and twigs.
- Now take a close look at the berries: if they were picked in dry weather in the forest or at their summer cottage, then there is no need to wash the strawberries. If the berry turned out to be dusty, then you will have to rinse it. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the strawberry.
- Transfer the berries in small batches to a colander. Pour water into a saucepan or large bowl and carefully immerse the colander with berries in it. You can do otherwise and substitute a container with strawberries under a stream of water, only the tap needs to be switched to the shower. When the water drains, you can proceed to the most important thing - cooking strawberry jam in a slow cooker.
- And here, as it turned out, everything is very simple. We adhere to the recipe and lay out in layers in the multicooker bowl, first a couple of handfuls of berries - a layer of sugar, berries - another layer of sugar.
- Now you need to leave the strawberries to bask in sugar for about 5 hours, you can increase this time by another 2 hours. It all depends on the variety and the temperature in the room. It is important to wait for the strawberries to release juice and the sugar to gradually begin to dissolve.
- We will cook strawberry jam in a multicooker using the "Stew" program. Set the device timer to 1 hour. If fewer berries are put, the time is reduced, if more, it increases.
- In order not to miss the moment of boiling and catch the risen foam, place a container with holes (steamer) on top of the multicooker bowl.
