The jams are very popular in the kitchen; they are used to fill cakes and pies, to spread on bread, to put in the yogurt, ice cream, fruit, cereal, oatmeal and milk, to prepare meat toppings, etc. Preparing homemade jams is simple and also much more nutritious, it's easy to keep them, and you just need a glass container with a tight lid so you can store your jam and then use it whenever you want. To sterilize a jar, just boil it for 10 minutes and ready. Save there and then put it in a cool dark place, preferably in the refrigerator.

  • Previous advice to develop good jams:
  • Peach Jam
  • Apple Jam
  • Pineapple Jam
  • Strawberry Jam
  • Rose petal jam
  • Fig jam

Previous advice to develop good jams:

  • Choose ripe and good quality fruit, avoid the unripe fruit, poor quality, beaten or bruised.
  • Let the fruit macerate in a cool dark place and for more than 12 hours. Remove the jam every 2 or 3 hours while maceration.
  • Use brown sugar that is more nutritious, flavor may vary but gives it a unique touch to the jam.
  • Wash the fruit well before mixing, avoid using soap or detergent to wash the fruit, it could take the taste of the washing powder or chlorine. Soak the fruit in water with special drops to disinfect fruit.

Peach Jam

Ingredients

  • 2 kg of peeled and pitted peaches (only the pulp)
  • 1,200 g of brown sugar
  • Juice of 2 lemons

  1. To peel the peaches, you can use a potato peeler, or just a knife.
  2. Place in a pan, iron is the better, diced fruit, sugar, pits and lemon juice.
  3. Leave in refrigerator overnight (or at least 6 hours).
  4. Remove and put on intense fire until it boils vigorously, stir and reduce heat to a minimum.
  5. Continue stirring occasionally for 40 to 50 minutes.
  6. Turn off and remove from the stove, remove the pits and place the pan on the counter.
  7. You can put a spoon under the pan to cool. The second firing is for consistency.
  8. Return to high heat, bring to boil and turn down.
  9. This time let cook 25 minutes. Then, it should be cooled in the same pot and carried to the refrigerator.

Apple Jam

  3. Add 350g of sugar per 450g of apple pulp. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat slowly, stirring slowly until sugar is melted. Once melted sugar, boil until it is thick and creamy.
  4. Save in glass jars and seal.

Pineapple Jam

  • Sugar to taste
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Preparation

  1. Place the shredded pineapple in a pot. Peel the yellow potato and grate finely. Place in the pan over pineapple.
  2. The acidity of the pineapple does not allow the potato to get darken. Cover the pot and bring to medium heat.
  3. Bring to a boil and add the sugar on top, gradually.
  4. Once the sugar has penetrated, start moving it with a wooden spoon. When the jam has the consistency of a sauce, try and add more sugar if necessary.

  • 1kg of cleaned and peeled figs
  • 500 g of sugar
  • 300 ml of water
  • Half lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Clean and peel figs, and perhaps this is the most difficult, especially if the figs are very tender. Once clean, weigh them and take into account that sugar is half the weight of the figs.
  2. Place the figs in a pan with water, the water should reach about half of the figs. Boil for about 15 minutes over medium heat and stir occasionally.
  3. Add sugar and the lemon that helps to release the fruit pectin while cooking.
  4. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally and removing the majority of seeds of figs. This can be for 15 or 20 minutes.

    I think that most people don?t even know the ingredients of the jams and they are only made with fruit and sugar so it is really easy to prepare them and if you make them natural and without sugar, these sweet mixtures can help you a lot when you feel like having cravings! So I think this article is perfect to teach people something easy and delicious

    There are all great recipes, they just call for SO MUCH SUGAR!!!! My mother in law always goes out berry picking every year, and I just think it’s such a tremendous amount of berries, just to be tossed away in a jar full of sugar. I won’t even eat it, it has so much sugar. Is there any way you can make jam without sugar?
