Let’s keep it simple. I would like to use –

- Plum or Jujube
Wash off the fruits nicely and get rid of bruised or moldy fruit. You can also cut off the brown spots. Now chop all the fruits into a quarter section. You can even chop them into more little pieces.
Here comes the main part how to make jam.
The Cooking Process
- Begin the cooking process by placing all the ingredients in a pan on low heat. Adjust the sugar to your desired sweetness level, allowing it to gradually meld with the fruits.
- In the second step let the mixture simmer, giving plenty of time for the sugars to intertwine with the fruits. This low and slow approach ensures a gradual infusion of flavors.
- After the fruits are mixed with the sugar transfer the simmered fruits to a blender, to create a juice that captures all the flavors of the fruit.
- Now pour again all the blended juice back into the pan. Apply gentle heat and stir consistently to prevent any unwanted burns.
- As the mixture simmers, you will notice the juice gradually turns into a rich, flavorful jam. This is where all the flavors intensify into a nice jam.
- Just as the caramelization reaches its peak, you can add a bit of lemon juice to the jam. This additional element enriches the flavor, providing a delightful tanginess.
- Lastly, continue stirring until the jam reaches your preferred consistency. This step ensures an even blend of flavors and a smooth texture.
