Let’s talk about jam…
We can make jam from all the fruits. Also by combining fruits. When it comes to fruits with thick skin, like oranges, we first need to boil them for half an hour, drain them and melt them, before we put them in the food processor. That will help the grinding and avoid using lots of water.  We try not to use water, to help jam to thicken faster. The ideal dosage should be: 1kg fruit- 800g sugar. However, we may change the dosage depending on our taste or health issues. We should never forget that during the boiling we should stir frequently, because it is very easy to burn and stick on the pot, thus taking a very heavy smell. Some fruits might leave more juice, so after we have thicken it is advisable to double check for any extra liquid and if needed boil again before place in the jar.
