Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your jam. Look for strawberries and peaches that are deeply colored and fragrant.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the jam from scorching.
- Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Test the jam for doneness before removing it from the heat: The jam is done when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Let the jam cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.
