The main difference between jam and jam, confiture, jam and marmalade is that jam has a heterogeneous consistency and consists of two parts: syrup and whole (or pieces) berries and fruits.

Jam can be prepared according to the classic recipe, that is, boil it in 3-4 doses, each time completely cooling the syrup with berries or fruits, and insisting for some time. Jam can be prepared according to the “five-minute jam” recipe, when the jam can be boiled once for 5 minutes. And also the housewives prepare live or raw jam, when the berries are rubbed with sugar and are not amenable to heat treatment.

When preparing jam, consider some of the nuances:

- jam is best cooked in a wide bowl so that the lower layers of berries or fruits do not soften under the weight of the upper ones;

- jam is best cooked in thick-walled dishes;

- it is best to cook jam in enameled dishes without chips, as well as in stainless steel dishes;

- in the classic version, 1 kg of sugar is taken for 1 kg of raw materials;

- cook the jam on a quiet fire;

- when cooking jam, remove the foam;

- the jam is ready when a drop of syrup does not blur on a saucer;

- for storage for the winter, boiling jam is poured into sterilized jars and closed with sterilized lids;
