Our jams are mostly homemade from scratch French recipes.

They are still prepared by my French family members and passed down by my late grandmother.

The jams are all without artificial pectin, instead we tend to add lemon or lime to help with the setting.

Our jams are not canned in a water bath but feel free to do so after having filled the jam into the jar. We don't do it because it's not necessary if you follow the recipes properly.

Just a last tip: Use fresh quality fruits and ingredients only. This is a must if you want a delicious preserve with a long shelf life.

Jam VS Jelly VS Marmalade

A Jam is prepared by cooking down fruits with sugar until set.

A Jelly is made by cooking fruits in water to extract a juice. The juice is strained and then taken back to the heat with sugar and cooked down until it's set.

A marmalade is made with citrus fruits and it always includes the skin of the fruit. This is because citrus fruits are rich in natural pectins.

The easiest to prepapre are jam and marmalades.

Jellies can be a bit tricky and they take a little longer to cook down. Also, not every fruit can be turned into jelly. The more pectin a fruit contains, the better it will set.
