Faq

  • What is the best way for beginners to verify the jam's set point?

    Start with the thermometer method. Ensure the mixture reaches 102°C (215°F). Alternatively, try the spoon test: dip a chilled spoon in the jam, and if it thickens as it cools, you're spot on!

  • How do I prevent my jam from burning?

    Keep the heat moderate and stir frequently. Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan helps evenly distribute heat and reduces the risk of burning.

  • Can I use other fruit purees in this jam recipe?

    Absolutely! Experiment with different tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya, but be mindful of pH and enzymatic activity that might affect the jam's set.

  • Is there a way to adjust the sweetness level of the jam?

    Yes, you can slightly increase or decrease the sugar. However, altering sugar too much can affect the jam's set and shelf life, so proceed with caution.

  • How can I make my jam have a smoother texture?

    To achieve a smoother consistency, consider straining the jam through a sieve to remove seeds and fibers, giving your jam a silky finish.
