 It is necessary to have an adequate amount of
sugar, acid, and pectin to make firm set jam.
 Depending on the type of pectin, it may be better
to increase or decrease the amount of it.
 Fruit with a high level of pectin set easily. Fruit
with less pectin do not set well.
 Use freshly ripened fruits. Over or under ripe fruit
do not set firmly.
 The recipes in this book make soft set jams. This
is due to lower levels of sugar.
 Follow the recipe for the quantity for each
ingredient.
• Do not increase or decrease the quantities of
fruit. This may cause the jam to boil over or
burn.
• The amount of sugar used should not exceed
half the amount of the fruit used.
This may cause the jam to boil over or burn.
If the quantity of sugar is reduced, the jam will
not set firm.
* When using fruits that have a high acidity
level, you can decrease the quantity of lemon
juice but if it is reduced too much the jam may
not set firm.
 When the cooking time is short, fruit bits can
remain partially and the jam may become watery.
• The jam will continue to set as it cools.
Be careful not to over cook.
 Put the finished jam into a container as soon as
possible, taking care as the jam will still be very
hot.
 Jam can burn if it is left in the bread pan.
 Store the jam in a cool, dark place. Due to the
lower levels of sugar the shelf life is not as
long as shop bought varieties. Once opened,
refrigerate and consume shortly after opening.
