This jam is delicious, but it's very thick. I had to add some water to it before I could spread it on toast.

This jam is a lot of work to make, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I had a hard time finding the right balance of spices for this jam. It ended up being a bit too spicy for my liking.
