jam-making
Boiling fruit down
Jam-making is the process of preserving fruit by cooking it with sugar and sometimes pectin to create a thick, spreadable condiment.
The practice involves boiling fruit until it breaks down, then adding sugar to achieve the gel-like consistency that allows jam to keep for months.
Home jam-making often happens during peak fruit season when produce is abundant and cheap.
She spent the weekend jam-making with berries from the garden.
