About this deal

As a rough guide, the juice of a whole lemon (30-40ml) will be needed for very low acid fruit, whereas half a lemon will be enough for medium acid fruit, and you won't need any for the high acid fruits. In general, fruit with high pectin will also have high acidity and vice versa. Adding the sugar Finally, let the jam cool for about ten minutes, then spoon the jam into jars that have been thoroughly washed, and heated in the oven to sterilize. Seal the lids while the jam is still hot.

I can’t tell you how amazing this Simple Blueberry Jam is. The depth of flavour is just incredible and totally delicious. The Pectin Debate Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims clean and add the lids finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes or according to your altitude. Nowadays "jam" generally refers to a spreadable, chunky-textured mix made from both the juice and chopped or whole pieces of the fruit, while jelly—from the French gelée —is made from strained fruit juice and is (ideally) smooth and translucent. Marmalade, in the modern sense, is generally citrus, made from the juice and peels of oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and the like. The choice of fruit for jam-making is almost endless. I always try to use seasonal fruit to get the best flavour for my jam. Slightly unripe or "just ripe" fruit will form a jam more easily than very ripe fruit as it contains more pectin and is more acidic. Acid is also needed to stop the pectin molecules ionizing and so again, making them more likely to bind together.If you choose this method then it’s very important to use no-sugar pectin. This type of pectin is made to form a gel with little to no sugar. We prefer to make jam in a saucepan with a flat, heavy bottom and high sides. This prevents boiling over. For best results, find a saucepan with a wide diameter. This extra surface area is needed for evaporation, which helps improve the gelling and endresult. Return to the pan with the sugar, another 2 tbsp of lemon juice and optional 1 tbsp white rum if using. Both are delicious though. I recommend serving it straight from the fridge just like you would actual watermelon as this also enhances the flavour. Remove air bubbles, wipe the lids clean and add the lids finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes or according to your altitude.

Then pour the jam or jelly into the pot and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Remember to stir it constantly as it can burn easily. In the European Union, the jam directive (Council Directive 79/693/EEC, 24 July 1979) sets minimum standards for the amount of "fruit" in jam. It also expanded the definition of fruit. This was done to take several unusual kinds of jam made in the EU into account. For this purpose, "fruit" is considered to include fruits that are not usually treated as fruits, such as tomatoes; fruits that are not normally made into jams, such as melons and watermelons; and vegetables that are sometimes made into jams, such as: rhubarb (the edible part of the stalks), carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins. This definition continues to apply in a later directive, Council Directive 2001/113/EC (20 December 2001).

Third The sugar needs to dissolve, so pour the mixture into a good sized saucepan – you need plenty of room to boil it, but you don’t need a massive preserving pan – and heat it gently until all the sugar has dissolved. Once this has happens – it only take 5 minutes or so the jam is ready to boiled so that it sets. For each quart (4 cups) of jelly, you will need 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of liquid pectin, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Glass jars with straight sides work best for jams and preserves, especially if you are freezing as they allow for food expansion that occurs during the freezing process. Ball Brand makes both Jelly Jars (8 oz) and Half Pint Jars (8 oz). For freezing, jams, jellies, and preserves, Ball® now makes an 8 oz plasticjar. If it is still runny you can simply return it all to a saucepan and heat it again to set it, but go gently as often it will only need to boil for a minute. Jam recipes mostly comprise equal weights of fruit and sugar. You can play with this 1:1 ratio as much as you want, but too much fruit and you may lose the preserving effects of the sugar; too much sugar and it may crystallise during storage. To prevent a lot of foam from forming while cooking the jam, add an optional ½-teaspoon butter or margarine as soon as it starts. Otherwise, skim off the foam with a spoon before adding jam tojars.Gel is a great choice for everything from twist-outs to holding a sleek pony in place. However, some people might not enjoy the look or feel of them. Pomade doesn't offer as much control as gel, but may be gentler on hair. To me, a jam is a preserve that contains both pieces of fruit and the fruit juice, while a jelly is made using only fruit juice. If you added to much water when you were making the juice for jelly it creates a thinner juice that will need more pectin to properly jell. Sweetened Juice Time. Small batch jam quantities take much less time to cook and set. A couple of pots of jam can be made while cooking supper. The first European sugar preserves made use of that seemingly magical substance, honey. The earliest fruit preserves would be made by mixing fruit pulp with honey and allowing it to dry in the sun, creating a texture more like that of a jellied sweet.
