About 1.5 kg of strawberries is needed to make 1 kg of jam as strawberries lose water content and some are discarded during the process of making jam.
Jam is primarily composed of sugar, making it a carbohydrate.
A tin-plated steel pan is commonly used for jam making because tin has a non-reactive surface that won't interact with the acidic fruit during the cooking process. This helps preserve the flavor and color of the jam. Additionally, tin conducts heat evenly, which helps prevent scorching or burning of the jam.
Jaminator or Marmateer
Pectin should be added to jam at the beginning of the cooking process to help the jam set properly.
You can mix anything you want in a jam. As long as it has been properly cooked in a jam process.
Most jams and jellies are preserved simply by high sugarlevels, which dehydrates and kills microorganisms by pulling water out of their cells by the process of osmosis.
no
go nuts experimenting (:
During the jam preparation some chemical reactions can be involved.
To make jam, you typically start by preparing the fruit (washing, peeling, and chopping), then cook it with sugar and pectin until it thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, the hot jam is poured into sterilized jars and sealed. Finally, the jars are processed in a water bath to ensure they are properly sealed and preserved.
It depends on what kind of jam your making. Very Berry jam is made by putting a Very Berry in pot to delute the fruit into a jam. Hope I helped! :D
