Jam Tips

Getting a set, and keeping it

The Wrinkle Test

Chill a saucer, spoon on a little jam, push it with a finger. If it wrinkles, it has set

Pectin Comes From the Fruit

Apples, citrus and currants are high in it. Strawberries are not — add lemon juice or they stay runny

Sterilise the Jars

Oven at 140°C for 15 minutes, and fill them while both jar and jam are hot

Do Not Stir Once Boiling

Stirring drops the temperature and can crystallise the sugar. Skim the foam at the end instead
