Turn down the heat and simmer 35–40 minutes, until the jam thickens.
⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
9
Test the thickness: the jam is ready when a drop of it on a cold plate sets.
💡The plate test: chill a small plate in the freezer ahead of time, drip a little jam onto it and wait half a minute. If the drop wrinkles when you push it with your finger, the jam is ready.
