Grapefruit Jam

Name: Grapefruit Jam
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 Grapefruit; 80 grams Sugar; 1 tbsp Lemon juice

When I see fruit in season, I just can't resist the urge to turn it into jam.
Add it to yogurt, or spread on bread.
I love the sweet smell in the kitchen when I'm making jam, too.

Since both the peel and membranes are removed, not a lot of scum will come out. Be sure keep skimming when it starts to simmer.
I don't like the bitterness of marmalade so I leave the peel out, but if you do like that bitter flavor, it's probably better to add the peel for a bitter flavor accent. Recipe by Orihime mama

1Grapefruit
80 gramsSugar
1 tbspLemon juice

Cooking Instructions

1

Peel the grapefruit, and remove all the white membranes, too.
2

Put the fruit pulp and sugar in a pan, mix lightly, and leave for about 5 minutes.
3

When some moisture comes out of the pump and the sugar starts to melt, add the lemon juice and start cooking over medium heat.
4

When it comes to a boil and some scum rises to the surface, skim it off 2 to 3 times. (The white stuff in the middle of the photo is the scum.)
5

After simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, when the orange color darkens and the mixture thickens, it's done. Even if it's quite liquid, it will thicken when it cools down. Pour into a sterilized jar while it's still hot close the lid.
6

If you prefer to have a bitter taste: finely shred about 1/2 of the peel, and simmer for about 5 minutes to get rid of some of the bitterness. Strain and add it to Step 3 and continue.

I have concord and catawba grapes in my backyard and find this far easier than trying to make wine. The key is to pick 'em before the wildlife gets 'em...lol

Easy Cranberry Jam Easy Cranberry Jam

I bought some fresh cranberries at Costco, but if you eat them fresh, they're not sweet.So, I made them into jam.While heating, mix gently with a silicone spatula to prevent it from burning.This time, I used 180 g of sugar, which is half the weight of the cranberries. Modify the amount of sugar as you like. Recipe by Butausagi!

[Farmhouse Recipe] Tangerine Jam [Farmhouse Recipe] Tangerine Jam

Watson pomelo jam, lemon jam. I've made all sorts of jam with citrus fruits. So, I decided to make jam with tangerines as well.You could also use regular sugar if you don't have granulated sugar.The amount of granulated sugar should equal 60% of the weight of peeled tangerines.Make sure not to reduce too much when simmering. It will become extremely thick. Recipe by FarmersK

California Farm No Seeds Grape Jam California Farm No Seeds Grape Jam

We make wine and jam from our own grapes: spanish tempranillo, french mourvedre, and french grenache noir grapes. Lots of seeds. I make one quart jar of jam from 4 pounds of grapes, add agave syrup nectar. Here is how we remove the seeds, which reduces the jam to 3 cups of jam from 4 pounds of grape clusters. Year round summer sweetness for sandwiches.

Frozen Strawberry Jam Frozen Strawberry Jam

I wasn't planning to make jam but I forgot to put the frozen strawberries I bought in the freezer, so I needed an emergency rescue.Please make it with 3 times this amount.The sugar is about 40 to 60% of the strawberries in weight. Please adjust the amount to taste.Try adding an equal amount of blueberries for a mixed berry jam.This jam is great on bread and scones of course, as well as on yogurt or ice cream.The procedure is the same using fresh strawberries.

Easy Strawberry Jam Easy Strawberry Jam

I always make strawberry jam at this time of year. Homemade strawberry jam is delicious.Even if the jam is runny after simmering for 10-15 minutes, it will thicken when cooled. If it still doesn't thicken, simmer a bit more.It has quite a mild sweetness, so you can enjoy it in many ways, on bread, with yogurt, in desserts, etc. Recipe by pastis009

Tangy Cranberry Jam Tangy Cranberry Jam

I bought a bag of fresh cranberries for quite cheaply. I wanted to try out this seasonal fruit. I recommend making it a less sweeter than store-bought cranberry jam. It's tasty with meat or on bread.This jam is not as sweet as store-bought jam, so please adjust to your desired degree of sweetness. The orange is so delicious, so feel free to add more. I recommend eating it as soon as possible. Recipe by Waby
