How is jam made?!


Question: How is jam made!?
Answers:
First choose which fruit you will use and decide how much you want to make!.

In general jam is produced by taking mashed or chopped fruit or vegetable pulp and boiling it with sugar and water!. The proportion of sugar and fruit varies according to the type of fruit and its ripeness, but a rough starting point is equal weights of each!. When the mixture reaches a temperature of 104 °C (219 °F), the acid and the pectin in the fruit react with the sugar, and the jam will set on cooling!. However, most cooks work by trial and error, bringing the mixture to a "fast rolling boil", watching to see if the seething mass changes texture, and dropping small samples on a plate to see if they run or set!.
