Description

In this high temperature range, enough water evaporation has taken place and the web of pectin becomes strong enough that it slows the movement of water to the point that it becomes a spreadable gel. A sugar concentration of 80% sugar/20% water. ☼ Sugar as a Preservative: According to Canadian food and drug regulation (CRC), jam and jam products must at least have 45% of the named fruit and 66% of water-soluble solids. In addition, it may contain added pectin, pectinous preparation, or acid ingredient. Also, reasonable amount of a Class II preservative, a pH adjusting agent, and an antifoaming agent is acceptable. However, the jam product shall not contain apple or rhubarb. [1] I remember being puzzled why my parents always put a waxed paper disc on the surface of their homemade jam. I now know that it prevents the condensation of water on the jam's surface. Condensed water would dissolve sugar, producing an area of low sugar concentration and allowing mould growth. I must confess that jam never sits in my cupboard long enough to worry about this. Add lids and tighten until finger tight and process for 10 minutes or according to your altitude. Processing Times For Water Bath Canning To keep you busy while you are waiting, get your pre-sterilised jars ready. You will need five or six of them. My preferred method of sterilisation is to wash them in soap and hot water, rinse them with clean water to remove any detergent, and dry them in the oven at about 160C.

Finally, let the jam cool for about ten minutes, then spoon the jam into jars that have been thoroughly washed, and heated in the oven to sterilize. Seal the lids while the jam is still hot. As a rough guide, the juice of a whole lemon (30-40ml) will be needed for very low acid fruit, whereas half a lemon will be enough for medium acid fruit, and you won't need any for the high acid fruits. In general, fruit with high pectin will also have high acidity and vice versa. Adding the sugarPlace your pan on a low heat. As the fruit heats through, a glorious fresh, warm smell will fill the air. Prolong this by heating slowly until a very gentle boil is reached. Cook until tender – any longer and the fruit will lose its shape. No sugar is added at this stage because a high sugar concentration can cause water to be removed through osmosis and result in hard, unappetising fruit. You might need to add a little water though if your fruit is very dry. Jams can remind us of summers past, even summers several years gone. It is the sugar and acid that makes this possible. Jams usually contain about 60% sugar, which is enough to stop most microorganisms growing. The high acidity also makes it an unpleasant place to breed. However, some moulds can grow even in these harsh conditions and so it is important to take care when preparing and sterilising your jars. Prepare the jam jars by washing in hot soapy water and leaving to dry and warm in a cool oven - 130C/250F/Gas ½ for 10-15 minutes.

Another common reason for jam or jelly not setting is that there is something wrong with your pectin. Sugar concentrations of 65% or higher prevent spoilage, withdrawing water from microorganisms, causing them to become incapacitated and unable to bring about food spoilage. ➤ Minimize Cooking Time: If you often have problems with your canned jellies and jams not setting but they do set for you before you’ve water bath canned them you could be over-processing.

Sugar not only sweetens the jam and helps the fruit maintain its brilliant color, but it also helps pectin do its stuff. Sugar attracts water, yanking it away from the pectin, which boosts network formation and enhances gelling. Sugar’s water-grabbing activity also helps prevent the growth of molds and bacteria (no available water, no microbes), which gives jam its long-term keeping qualities. A: The answer is in understanding the critical variables needed to properly set pectin: Sugar, acid, and temperature. Keep reading… The Science of Pectin The choice of fruit for jam-making is almost endless. I always try to use seasonal fruit to get the best flavour for my jam. Slightly unripe or "just ripe" fruit will form a jam more easily than very ripe fruit as it contains more pectin and is more acidic. Start by removing any leaves and twigs, wash the fruit if you feel it necessary, and remove any stones. Add the fruit to a pan big enough to ensure the fruit does not reach more than halfway up the side. Heating

Make sure the water in the canner is almost boiling or fully boiling when you add the jars in. If the water is too cool and takes too long to come up to a full boil, this means your jars will be sitting in hot water longer then they should be. Bring to the boil, then simmer over a low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the fruit is completely soft.In summation, then, the three factors of pectin, sugar and acid have to be in perfect balance for jam to set. If it doesn’t, you can often point to one of those three factors being somehow amiss – and understanding the chemistry behind why jam sets in the first place can often help you identify how to fix it! This sweet treat was named late, in the early 1700s, but "jam" captures the difference between it and the (in my opinion) inferior jelly. Jellies are made from homogeneous fruit juice with none of the wonderful texture-giving "crushed" fruit. There are many ways of telling when your pectin network has formed and you are ready to pour the jam out. It normally forms at around 104-105C, when the sugar content is high enough to allow the pectin branches to join. Unfortunately, temperature is not a reliable signal because it varies according to acidity, amount of pectin, etc. My preferred method is direct measurement. Pour a little blob of jam on to a cooled saucer, let the jam cool in the fridge and then push against the side of it with your finger. If the surface wrinkles it means the pectin network has solidified, setting point has been reached, and you should take the mixture off the heat. If you don't boil it long enough the pectin network will not form properly. Boil it too long you risk not only losing the fresh flavour and colour of the jam but having a jam with the texture of set honey. Cooling and decanting into jars Test to see if it’s setting, if not continue to boil for 1 more minute if it is then remove it from the heat and skim off the foam. Fruits naturally contain acids – the most well known is citric acid, but malic acid and tartaric acid are also found in a number of fruits. Whilst some acid will be contributed by the fruit from which the jam is made, often this won’t be enough to reach the desired pH, and for this reason more must be added. This is commonly in the form of lemon juice, which contains citric acid, though powdered forms of acids can also be used.

Time. Small batch jam quantities take much less time to cook and set. A couple of pots of jam can be made while cooking supper. When the jelly is setting, remove the pot from the heat and skim off the foam. Then ladle into your jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. The most accurate way to find your ideal final cook temperature is with a boiling point test to see what the specific boiling point is at your altitude. Just a couple of degrees can make a big difference when cooking sugar. ➤ Temperature Reduction Factor Of course this does not need to be a small batch – simply scale it up to make more – but the cooking time will be longer! Ingredient Ratios Pectin comes in 2 forms, powdered and liquid. So you will find many recipes made for both types of pectin. But you can’t simply use powdered pectin in a recipe that is made for liquid pectin.

Water boils at a lower temperature than 212°F at higher altitudes. The temperature at which preserves set, 220°F, will adjust downward as well.” Pour your soft jelly or jam into a medium-sized pot and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for each quart of jelly. Sugar is very hydrophilic like pectin is. In the presence of sugar, water will bind to it rather than the pectin. Once the water is pulled away from the pectin molecules, the pectin is more likely to bind to itself. For this water transfer to occur, the sugar level needs to be above 60%. 2. Acid For each quart you are recooking you will need 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of liquid pectin, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. If your recipe says to use a certain amount of mashed fruit, you need to mash the fruit before you measure it.
