It quite straight forward, depends what type of fruits you use though and how sweet you want it to be!. Normally for 1kg of fruits you need 1/3kg of sugar, preferably the one with added gelatine for thickness, but white sugar will do as well!. Then you pop it all - washed fruits and sugar into a pot with a thick bottom and simmer together for a couple of hours!. Put in jars, close tightly and will last you for ages!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you are going to use pectin to help it set there are recipes in the box!. You can't just throw together fruit and sugar and have it comes out as jam!. The proportions have to be correct!. Why don't you try the Certo (brand of pectin) website!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Look up a good jam recipe only, but the basics you need are jam sugar (buy this in any big supermarkets) and fresh fruit and jars and someting to boil it in
good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
