Make the most of your summer fruits with Hansells Jam Setting Mix.

INGREDIENTS:

1.75kg fresh or frozen mixed berries

1 sachet Hansells Jam Setting Mix

1.1kg sugar

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve this delicious homemade jam on toast for a leisurely summer breakfast on the deck. Perfect with scones, as a filling in sponge cakes or as a personal homemade gift to loved ones.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Thaw berries if using frozen. Place berries in a large deep saucepan. Using a large, long handled wooden spoon, stir in Hansells Jam Setting Mix. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Slowly stir in the sugar. Continue stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the jam catching on the bottom of the saucepan. Remove the jam from the heat. Using a metal or slotted spoon, carefully remove the scum from the surface of the jam and discard. Using a heatproof jug, pour the jam into heated jars to under the curved rim of the jar. While hot screw lids on jars. Carefully clean jars with a hot cloth. Leave until cold. Label with the jam name and date made.

Store in a cool dark place and use within a year.

Makes about 2.3 litres (or 8 jars included in the Hansells Jam Making kit)

Tips:

. A large deep saucepan is needed for jam making as the jam rises up in the saucepan when it comes to a rolling boil. If your saucepan is too small, you will not be able to bring the jam to the required rolling boil without it boiling over.

. Use clean jars that have been heated in a 100 degree C oven for 20 minutes. This does not sterilize the jars, but helps kill any mould spores that can cause jam to spoil.

. Jam jars need to be hot when the jam is poured into them to prevent them breaking. Place saucepan and glass jars on a wooden boards, that way if you spill some jam during filling it is easier to clean up. Also using a wooden board is better than placing the jars on a cold kitchen bench.

. If using cellophane lids or lids that have been used before, wait until the jam is cold before covering with lids. This prevents moisture forming inside the lid of the jar as the jam cools making an ideal place for unwanted moulds to grow.

. The amount of jam this recipe will make will vary slightly depending on the amount of water in the fruit used and the combination of berries used. If you have a little more than the 8 jars in this kit, pour it into a small bowl to use immediately. Store this covered in the fridge until ready to use.
