Preparing your own handmade jam or marmalade with fresh fruit is always a great satisfaction, especially when your family enjoys it afterwards or when it's used as a gift idea for friends and family. But what are the little tricks to prepare a really delicious jam? Here are some tips to avoid mistakes: -Choose only quality fruits, preferably organic, at the right point of ripeness -Wash and dry the fruits, removing cores, stones and debris. -Use sugar in sufficient quantities to ensure the conservation of the jam: about 1 kg of sugar per pound of acid fruits (citrus, cherries, berries ...) and 0.75 kg each pound of sweet and fleshy fruit (peaches, apricots, grapes) -In case of uncertainty, better add an extra spoon than one less to avoid problems of preservation! -Do not exceed 30 minutes of cooking, in order to avoid that the fruit loses flavor. -Use glass containers with airtight caps for perfect storage. For this last point the MyHome catalog from Bormioli Rocco will offer you a wide range of preserving jars. The series "Quattro Stagioni" comes in many different shapes and capacities. Being true icons of home food preservation, the „Quattro Stagioni“- containers create a vacuum to protect your jams from external agents, preserving the aromas and flavors for a long time.
