How to make Homemade Jams and Jellies
Simple Steps
- Wash and remove the stems or cores, if any. Peel if necessary; cherries and berries do not require peeling; fruit like pears and peaches do. .
- Cook in small batches to help cook fruit more quickly, and it enhances the color and flavor.
- For every cup of fruit you use, add ¾ cup of sugar.Unless otherwise specified by the recipe.
- If you are using ripe or particularly sweet fruit, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. The acid from the lemon juice will help the jam or preserve thicken.
- stir your mixture often for 15-40 minutes, depending on the fruit.
- take a spoonful out of your kettle, and if it holds its shape after about a minute, your jam or preserve is ready to jar.
