Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan to prevent the jam from burning.
  • Cook the jam over medium-low heat to allow the flavors to develop and prevent the jam from crystallizing.
  • Stir the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pot or pan.
  • Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the jam cool completely before transferring it to a jar. This will help the jam to thicken and set.
