What can you use the jam for?
If you make homemade jam, you are guaranteed to know what you put into it and you do not have to fear artificial sweeteners and other surprises that are used in jams. In addition, you can make a decent supply for the whole winter, or give it as gifts to your friends. Jam is used most often in combination with a slice of bread and butter, but you will also use it on sweet pancakes. Children love flatbreads spread with sweet fruit and sprinkled with cocoa, cinnamon or sugar.
We most often associate jam with Linzer cookies or other delicacies. It suits baked gingerbread, just like, for example, Nutella. Exceptionally, homemade jam will taste good on homemade pancakes. You can make jam from whatever fruit you like, but there are also varieties that belong to the more exotic. An exception is, for example, gooseberry jam or other garden fruit. People have different ways of cooking and making jam. Sometimes it is enough to cook the jam and pour it into jars, someone even sterilizes the jars and then stores them in a cool place. Always carefully label jars with finished jam so you know in which year and from what you made them.
