Cai, I have made jam and marmalade very sucessfully in mine.......(we used to have a lemon tree in our old garden and I became the lemon lime marmalade queen of the street!) Let me know if you need recipes?

In terms of "tried and true" ours gets used heaps for pizza dough, and plain white crusty.....we have homemade soup and homemade bread most monday nights! (I use the Lauke (sp?) packet mix for a plain loaf.....can't go wrong!)

I have made hot cross buns once.......disaster.....LOL

My all time fave tried and true recipe is "Bacon, Onion & Beer Bread".........let me know if you want that recipe?

BTW, what brand is your bread machine? The one prob with sharing recipes is they seem to vary from machine to machine IYKWIM? Does yours have a menu/timer that tells you how long each option is? Does it have a function where it beeps to tell you to add stuff (like nuts and fruit)?
