Try This! Ruby Red Prune Jam

I was wondering if I could make jam with dried prunes, and I tried making it.Once the mixture cools, it thickens, so please be careful not so simmer for too long! Recipe by Ringono recipe

I made a pink jam using Red Gold apples that are bright red straight to the core. When you hear the words "apple jam," you automatically think of Jonathan apples, but it can be made with Red Gold or any other red apple varieties as well. Red Gold have more moisture than Jonathan apples, so they are quicker to make jam. You only need 2 apples to make this, so definitely try it out.Cut the apples as thinly as possible as this makes the moisture come out easier and it'll be quick and easy to make. The amount of granulated sugar should be 50-60% of the amount of fruit. This will increase its self life. If you add lots of lemon, it'll taste refreshing and not cloying from the high sugar content.

I used homegrown red currants.Since currants contain a lot of pectin, if you simmer it until it is still somewhat runny, then it will harden to the perfect thickness. If it hardens too much, it will turn into jello or like a gummy candy. Recipe by mipon

I started growing raspberries and blackberries last year. This is the first jam I've ever made and I am addicted to its deliciousness.The fragrance and flavor is great if you use granulated sugar. I usually use lemon juice. I used citric acid once because I read in a book that it really brings out the savory flavor of the fruit, but I couldn't really tell any difference. (Apparently you can substitute lemon juice for kiwi or fig) You should use a pot that can withstand acidity, such as an enameled or stainless steel pot (thought enameled is best). This is quite sweet and sour, so if you want a sweeter jam, taste it in Step 4 and adjust the amount of sugar. Recipe by Genpokin

Concord grape's unique taste in a quick jam recipe!

There are many ways to make ume plum jam, such as adding the sugar at the start and simmering the whole plums but if you do that, you may throw out some of the sugar with the stones, and it also makes it harder to pass the jam through a sieve. If you use this method, I think you only need to cook the jam for the minimum amount of time, and you'll also only add the minimal amount of sugar. I simmered the jam 500 g at a time in an enameled pan. This cuts down on the overall cooking time, and I had jam in two colors, which made me happy.Change the water 3 to 4 times for hard green plums, and 2 to 3 times for ripe plums, and they will become tender. Don't bring the water to a boil to prevent the plum skins from ripping. Add 70 to 80% of the weight of the plums in sugar. I think it's best to add more than 350g of sugar for every 500g of green plums. This jam becomes quite stiff when cold. When it changes color after 15 minutes of simmering and becomes thick and limpid, try dropping some of the jam in cold water. If it stiffens up it's done. Recipe by commeline

Low sugar, no pectin! Fresh taste!

I created this recipe because I received a lot of grapes.When you are pouring the jam into bottles, it might be still runny, but when it cools, it will thicken and be perfect. Recipe by uzukaji

I bought some Starking apples, but they didn't go over well with my family, so tried making some jam. I think they're delicious either way.I made this with 30% as much sugar as apple. If you want to store it for a long time, I think it's better to use a larger amount of sugar, like about 50%. Recipe by ankobby

I learnt this recipe from a cooking class a long time ago, but I lost the recipe so I recreated it on my own. I think they taught us to wash the kumquats with rice bran, but I just eliminated any complicated steps.I used a 1/4 of the weight of the kumquats in sugar (if you want to preserve the jam for a long time, add more sugar). Incidentally, I always divide the jam into small batches and freeze it. I don't bother with sterilizing the jars with boiling water (since I've never had the jam go bad this way. If you are worried that it will though, sterilize the jars). Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

We went to pick our own fruit in a farm nearby and had never tried making blackcurrant jam before but now I wished I had picked more to give away for presents.

Sweet and tart Jam made with fresh picked cherries.

Every fall, my mother never fails to make this jam, so this time, I asked for the recipe.If you increase the amount of sugar by 30-40%, it will have a long shelf life.This recipe uses a reduced amount of sugar, so the jam should be consumed quickly. Recipe by suzu-ren

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

I wanted to make a jam because some persimmons I had received became too soft.If you use persimmons that aren't overripe, slice them thinly and let them sit for an hour after mixing with the sugar to make syrup. You do not need to add the 50 ml of water if you do it this way (you can add the water if not enough syrup formed). I used 25% as much sugar as the persimmons. Please adjust this amount to your taste. Recipe by ankobby

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. Recipe by Misuke mama chan

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

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!

I received a bunch of persimmons from a friend, and when thinking of various ways to use them, I decided to make persimmon jam, since I've never had it before.After searching different recipes on the internet, I came up with my own version.Persimmons are more tart than apples, so it only need a little sugar.You can use either firm or ripened persimmons, so give this recipe a try when you have lots.You could also grate or put them in a food processor for a smoother texture. Recipe by Kawakamisan

Once you get a taste of homemade jam, there's no going back. At least that's my case. I enjoy cooking jam as much as eating them. Pectin is a time saver if you don't feel like spending hours behind the stove. You can omit it if you have time to kill, or if you don't mind runny jam. And to make your homemade jam special, add thyme, or whatever herb you like.

For children to remember.Since the jam thickens as it cools, if you boil it down exactly to your ideal consistency, it will become too thick. Stop just before it reaches the ideal thickness. Recipe by cafe-cafe

Inside the box of pectin

I bought white grapes but they where not so nice much to tard. So instead of letting them in the fruit basket to go off. I made jam out of them

The jam from the local sightseeing farm was so delicious, so I wanted to try making it myself.Before this, I had never had lemon jam.When cool, it's nice and thick, so stop cooking it when it gets to the point where it seems just a bit too runny. This time, I made sweet lemon peels from the lemon peel by taking it out along the way and boiling it many times, so the amount of lemon peel has been reduced. It's okay even without lemon peels. Recipe by sorasato

I was bored with regular apple jam, so I tried to come up with something new and this recipe was born. I imagined tea would be a great match with apples since there is apple tea. I ended up with a jam with a perfect color and smell.Please use any tea and sugar you prefer. I recommend using Earl Grey because of the strong fragrance. I also recommend using Jonathan apples since they don't fall apart when cooked, but I used Fuji this time and it was delicious. Bottle in a small jar, pack it with scones and bread, and it will be a very popular gift! For 1-2 medium jar. Recipe by yaburie.

The cinnamon boost the flavour of the plums to a super cherry like experience!

I grew some butternut squashes in my garden.All you have to do is boil the squash, mash it, and cook it down.Since this jam doesn't contain dairy products, unlike kabocha cream, it keeps for a long time.If you use butternut squash, this jam will be nice and creamy. If you decide to use kabocha squash instead, choose ones that are fluffy. Recipe by cafe-cafe

When I spread strawberry preserves (with large strawberry chunks), if I spread it on sandwiches or on bread, sometimes it's too runny and messy, which makes it hard to eat. Preserves look presentable, but I went for practicality and made this crushed jam instead.●If you simmer the strawberries for a long time on low heat the colour will go bad, so that's why it's cooked on high heat. (You should avoid simmering for more than 20 minutes.) ●If you microwave the lemon for 10 seconds, it will be easier to squeeze. ●If you don't have a masher, crush the strawberries with a ladle or spatula.

I came up with this recipe after 9 years of experimentation. I wonder if the mulberry tree in the courtyard of my alma mater is still bearing fruit.Since snipping off the stems does not remove the part that is inside the berry, I've discovered this method. Since the berries are separated from the stem, there's no need for a blender or food processor. Recipe by Iguanano egao

I bought a lot American cherries on sale, and decided to make this jam. I accented it with kirsch. When I was child, I loved "sour cherry cake" and this jam is very similar to the flavour. I am so happy with the results.To retain the flavour of kirsch, add it after removing the jam from the heat. You can use any liqueur you like.The beautiful color of the jam is created by simmering over low heat for less than 10 minutes, so do not boil vigorously. If you want to thicken the sauce, take out the cherries, and reduce the sauce itself. Recipe by vegeful
