How to Make Gourmet Jam

Are you tired of the same old store-bought jams and jellies? Wouldn't you love to serve something new and exciting? Gourmet jam is the perfect addition to a Sunday brunch. It's also easy to make. All you need to do is substitute some of the ingredients you use to make your favorite recipe. Read on to learn how to make gourmet jam.

Instructions

1. Choose fruit that is in season. Jam is a very basic food. In fact, some recipes only call for two ingredients, fruit and sugar. This means that you want your fruit to taste as good as possible. By buying fruits that are in season, you ensure that the flavor and sugar levels are perfect.

2. Try combining different fruits. When making gourmet jam, you want to create something truly unique. For example, try combining strawberries and blackberries.

3. Use flavored sugar. Flavored sugar is an easy way to make anything gourmet. You could use vanilla, ginger or even lime flavored sugar.

4. Add additional flavors. If you want your gourmet jam to truly shine, don't be afraid to add additional flavor. You could add minced ginger or even crushed mint to create unique flavors.

Tips & Warnings

• Frozen fruit can be used, but it will breakdown more than fresh fruit will.
