Can this be used to puree hot fruit for making apple butter or jam?

This can be used to puree fruit, but about hot fruit I'm not sure. Maybe you should let it cool and then puree it.

I bought this blender to make homemade mayonnaise as my old blender quit working. In the past I have used a very similar hand blender to blend soups and for making apple sauce, apple butter and jams, etc. There was no problem with the hot soup or jams, but I was careful not to go above the mark indicated on the blender.

I haven't tried pureeing fruit specifically, but as long as the hot fruit is soft and cored/pitted, you should be fine. I use it on boiled vegetables in soups all the time. I would advise turning off the heat and partially covering the pot while you are pureeing.

I don't think it would work for cooking jam. It works well for freezer jam, but it didn't set for jelly. I hope this helps.

Sorry Ive only used it for Apples, peaches, pears and I knew it would work because these are the kinds my local orchard uses.

I have used it for baking apples in the microwave and in my oatmeal made in the microwave. I have had no problems with using it in hot or cold. I really highly recommend this product. It tastes just like sugar. Good luck to you.

Yes, you can use it in hot foods. I have used right in the stove top to puree soup.

I think it is probably best to use at least a couple of quarts of fruit....otherwise the concentrated fruit juice may be too watered down from the steam.

The manufacturer says you can make peanut butter with this unit. However, if that is all you want to make, I would look at a different solution. This is primarily a "juicer" that has parts to allow you to make peanut butter.

Yes it can. I use it as a smoothie maker with any variety of fruit or vegetable

It won't make juice like apple juice. It makes smoothies and it can also chop stuff up like veggies for salsa. You won't be able to make traditional juice from it though. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry, but I never use it for fruit. I only do jerky for my dog. Try the internet and see what they recommend. Wish I could have been more helpful!

No, it will only work as a steamer or juicer. My suggestion would be to buy an All American canner for canning.

I have done two batches of apple juice and this worked great there is a small cook book that comes with it that tells you how to make jams and jellys.

I think that may be difficult. The stirring mechanism does not look to be made for heavy items. Could be wrong though. Maybe if fruit was diced up fine .... may take a little more cooking.. just have to experiment. I can't say for sure, I never tried that... Good luck though..

I do not know. Clear-jel, as far as I know is intended for fruit pies to keep the juice from being runny and is great for that purpose. Do not know what you are using the thin boiling starch for.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

I don't know...I do not use this product for jam...i mix it with juice for my arthritis...works great for that purpose.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.
