Video: Red fruit jam

Ingredients

• 1 kilo of red fruit
• 250 grams of sugar
• 1 sachet of jelly powder*

Prepare

• Wash the fruit and drain well. Puree the berries. If you don’t want seeds in the jam, stir the fruits through a sieve.
• Mix the puree with the sugar and jelly powder. Bring to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 4 minutes.
• Pour the jam into cleaned jars. Fill well to the top and close immediately. Turn jars upside down and let cool.
• Keep this jam in the fridge, because of the low sugar content, the jam can spoil quickly.

Tip

You can use old empty (jam) jars as jars. sterilize these before using them.

*Jelly powder consists of pectin. Pectin is a natural gelling agent found in fruits. If you’re making jam with only sugar, you’ll need to let the fruit reduce for a while to get a gelling effect. Shorter cooking is easier, yields more jam and it tastes better too!
