SPECIAL TIPS
I ensure that all the equipment /utensils are very clean and neat.
Do not make large a quantity at a time because large quantities of fruits and sugar will take a long time to set.
Make sure to use granulated white sugar, because granulated will help set low-pectin fruits without the addition of lemon juice,then make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved
Ensure that the fruit to be used is fresh because the freshness of the fruit affects the finished product setting
Make sure you don't use damaged fruit because any fruit that has too damage will definitely spoil the results and lend to deteriorate fast

The food i will use to accompany my jam is a sweet bread
