Preserves Jams
Properly, the term "jam" refers to a product made with whole fruit, cut
into pieces or crushed. The fruit is heated with water and sugar to
activate the pectin in the fruit. The mixture is then put into
containers. The following extract from a US cookbook describes the
process.
Jams are usually made from pulp and juice of one fruit, rather than a
combination of several fruits. Berries and other small fruits are most
frequently used, though larger fruits such as apricots, peaches, or
plums cut into small pieces or crushed are also used for jams. Good jam
has a soft even consistency without distinct pieces of fruit, a bright
color, a good fruit flavor and a semi-jellied texture that is easy to
spread but has no free liquid.
