Jam is prepared by boiling fruit with a sugar solution until it forms a 'gel' which sets on cooling. For jam to keep well, the sugar concentrations should not be less than sixty-five per cent otherwise moulds will grow on it in no time.

°••Proportions of ingredients required••°

✓ 800g (2 lbs) of fruit

✓ 800g (2 Ibs) of sugar

✓ 1 litre (2 pints) of water (reduce water for pawpaw)

✓ 1 medium size root of ginger

✓ 1 lemon (squeezed) juice

°••Method••°

√ Wash, peel fruit and remove seeds if any.

√ Cut fruit into cubes (or gate if possible).

√ Wash and grate ginger.

√ Grease the pan or pot to prevent fruit from sticking to the pan.

√ Put grated fruit, ginger and water into the pan and boil until it becomes very soft.

√ Remove from heat, add sugar, stir to dissolve and add lemon juice.

√ Return to heat and continue to boil till jam sets.

√ Pour jam into sterilized jar(s) or bottle(s) whiles still hot and wipe sides with warmth cloth.

√ Cover the jar(s) or bottle(s) and label with dates.
