Jam

Handy hints for optimum results.

Use ripe, fresh fruit. Large fruits should be cut into small pieces.

Avoid processing fruit as the jam should be chunky and contain pieces of fruit.

Do not reduce the amount of sugar specified or use substitutes.

Pour the hot jam into sterilised jars, leaving approximately 2cm from the top of the jar. Seal the jars immediately.

Label jam, allow to cool and then refrigerate.

Each recipe requires Jam Setta. This helps form the gel like structure of the jam when cooled. Jam Setta can be purchased from most supermarkets.

Note: It is normal for excess steam to escape from the steam vent during the cooking process.
