PREPARE THE FRUITS

Why not pick some fruits in the garden? Or you can also buy very good ones at the market or the greengrocer.

Clean the fruits with warm water. Discard the mushy ones, stalks, stones, and cut into chunks if necessary.

Put on a high heat and respect the cooking time. Depending on the fruits, the result wanted, the type of sugar, the use of pectin or not, cooking times may differ quite a lot.


5/6
TEST THE JAM

Here is how to test the thickness of your jam. Pour a tablespoon of boiling jam on a cold plate, then incline the plate : the jam should flow smoothly without being too runny .

SKIM

Finally, skim the jam and fill immediately in the Le Parfait Jam jars. Close them using the lids, then immediately turn them upside down briefly, then put them right side up again. The result is a self-pasteurised cover.
Always use new lids.
