Most imprtant thing to make good jam is "Adjustment of heat" and "deep pot". |
|
|
1. Please prepare the deep pot as high as you can for cooking strawberry
jam. The hight should be more than 3 times of all ingredients. If the pot
is not so high, the bubble from ingredients go outside of the pot easily.
2. Cook the strawberry jam at high heat from beginning to the end. This process makes the strawberry jam really read. Longer cooking makes bad color. |
