Must say, I like to have (and eat!) various home made jams. Peach, apricot, blackberry, strawberry (yummy!), cherries, pears, some mixes with apples... There are only few I like the most. My son definitely love it too, this is really nice open a own glass with strawberries for example and eat it with hot tea!
For everyone who know this feeling and love home jams, I want to share one small tip. When you make your jam, just after it become boil, add to your jam lemon juice. Yes, you heard right, the lemon juice. For say 5 pounds of jam I take one fresh lemon and just press juice out.
Why? Easy! Your jam will be colorful! Because jam color become dark just after jam boil, adding the lemon juice prevent jam be dark. Try it!
