SLC22-W4 // Jam
Hello Everyone!!!
I hope you all are good and doing well. Today I'm here to be a part of this amazing course task "SLC22-W4 // Jam". I have tried apple jam today ,my daughters like home made jams. In my family jam is mostly used for school lunch . In market a lot of different varieties of fruit jams are available, in which they use high sugar content while my family like less sugary jam so i made jam at home.
Before going to start task I would like to invite @sualeha, @roohiasif99 and @stef1 for the contest.
Have you ever made jams? Tell us about your experience.

Yes I have prepared jam many times at home. Apple jam is my family's favourite jam. During strawberry season once I made strawberry jam too. My experience is always good in jam preparation. It's an easy way to give fruits to kids. I use less sugar so everyone can enjoy without any concerns of high calories.
Sometimes I make sugar free jam too by adding splenda instead of sugar. So i could enjoy more jam. I also make jam when I need to make jam rolls for a gathering dinner or tea party. Homemade jam is more economical pluse made up of real fruit so I prefer this jam over ready-made. In sugar free jam i must add gelatin to give its perfect jam texture. I don't make jam on big quantities because I dont want to add any preservative for its shelf life. Normally sodium benzoate is used for preservation. That makes its shelf life up to 3 months.
Present a jam recipe, you can make the recipe presented in this course or the recipe of your choice (details utensils, ingredients and step by step)

Do you have any special tips for making jam? Share them.
There are some tips to make good jam.
Fruits should be fresh and ripped . High quality fruits make good taste of jam. Spoiled or unripe fruits can destroy your jam
Cooking should be done at low temperature for good jam.
Before stop cooking jam ,always do plate taste to check either your jam is fully cooked.
For storage jam use sterilised and dry glass jars. Dont use plastic jars.
Refrigerate it ,it will stay for long time.
If you had to choose one food to accompany your jam, what would it be? Present your choice by showing how you would enjoy both ingredients together.
The yummiest combination of jam is bread (for my family). There are many options of enjoying jam . Bread is most convenient ,easy and yummy. I make jam rolls with bread too. That is very quick and presentable, specially for kids . I often make these rolls as snacks, for kids party etc.

Thanks dear for your compliment, yes you can try this easy and tasty recipe. Thanks for giving time to my post
With all my pleasure..
That is very delicious and quite easy recipe. Often I have too many apples and we are not able to eat them, that is why when reading your post I thought it was a great idea to make jam and not to wait till apples are spoiled.
When reading about bread rolls with jam I recalled me childhood when we were given for lunch some of those rolls, they were my favourite snacks. It was nice to read your post and thank you for the recipe.

Hola amiga

You have explained very clearly how to make jam.I am glad to know that your family eats home made food. Otherwise children these days don't eat homemade food, they prefer outside food.They like to eat fast food like burger pizza etc.Due to which their health deteriorates.I have never made a jam but reading your post makes me think I can make jam .How many times have I bought strawberry jam from the market, it contains a lot of sugar, which is why our adults don't eat it, only children eat it.I love cardamom and use it a lot, if you add a two or three of cardamom when you make the jam, so it could have tasted better.I like jam sandwich and jam roll also there are other jam types like banana jam mango jam orange jam etc.When I was little, my mother used to give me a jam sandwich in school lunch and I ate it very happily.Whenever we eat a jam sandwich, I remember the days when I used to eat jam sandwiches in school lunch. In our house, when my uncles toddler refuses to eat something, my aunt immediately puts jam on bread.Which also quenches their hunger and makes them happy.
