Updated on April 21, 2013

Truly Fruity Jams!

I've always craved for something delightfully sweet especially on my favorite bread and toast like putting some jams in it.

Jams is a special kind of fruit preserves. It is prepared by cooking the whole fruit with sugar. The taste depends on the flavor and variety of fruit you are using.

It is popular snacks among kids and adults that boast quick energy because of it contains 48 calories per tablespoon enough to sustain the glucose needed by the body.

So, why won't you try to make some of your own, or you can share your own recipes. Or if not, this page will help you to gain more jam recipe ideas all the best in the web.

Basic Jam Making

Jams are so easy to make and can be long lasting when kept in a properly clean tightly sealed container and put it in high temperature to avoid spoilage.

♥ Prepare the fruit by removing any stalks and leaves, Stone the fruit. Wipe clean or rinse in cold water.

♥ Cook the fruit in little or no water to soften it and break it down. (This extracts the pectin)

♥ Add sugar and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved. (do not allow mixture to boil until sugar is dissolved)

♥ Commercially bought pectin is added at this point if necessary.

♥ Bring jam to a boil and boil rapidly without stirring until the jam has reached the setting point. (this can take from 5 to 20 minutes)

♥ Pour into warm jars, cover and label.

Pectin is the substance responsible for the process of jam and jelly making.
