How to make jam? Common jam making tutorials

When my daughter was little, she loved eating jam. She liked to spread some jam on bread or cookies before eating. But I didn’t like to buy jam for her because the ingredients used in the jam were not reassuring and there were some preservatives, which were not good for her physical development. So I learned to make jam for her myself. Now that my daughter has grown up, I wrote down the jam recipes I made and shared them with young mothers.

Jam recipe

1. How to make strawberry jam

The method of making strawberry jam is simple. When strawberries are on the market in large quantities, you can remove the stems of 500 grams of strawberries, cut them into small pieces, and then marinate them with sugar. After marinating for two or three hours, a lot of juice can be pickled. At this time, put the marinated strawberries in a pot and add some sugar to cook. After boiling, remove the floating foam, add appropriate amount of lemon juice, and simmer for a while until the strawberries are all soft. Then turn off the heat and cool down, and the homemade strawberry jam is ready.

2. Banana Orange Jam

Making jam with bananas and oranges is also a good choice. You can take the pulp of two bananas, then the juice of an orange, add a small amount of lemon juice, and finally add three spoons of white sugar. After mixing them evenly, put them directly in the pot and cook them. Stir constantly after boiling. When the pulp in the pot becomes thick, you can turn off the heat and the golden banana orange jam is ready.

3. Apple Jam

Children also like apple jam very much. When making it, you can choose one kilogram of apples, 200 grams of sugar and 100 grams of maltose, and prepare a lemon. Peel and core the apples and use a food processor to make a puree. Take out the lemon juice and add it to the apple puree. Then add the prepared sugar and maltose and mix well. Cook them together. After boiling, simmer for 15 minutes, and the homemade apple jam is ready.
