The Jam section is an extensive collection of homemade sweet preserve recipes from berries and fruits that delight with their flavor and aroma all winter long. Here you'll find classic jams from strawberries, raspberries, black and red currants, gooseberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, quinces, figs, mandarins, plus more exotic versions like pumpkin jam with dried apricots or plum nutella. Each recipe comes with exact berry-and-sugar proportions, recommendations on cookware, the cooking technique (classic long boiling or quick "five-minute" jams), jar sterilization and conditions for long storage. The section is especially useful during harvest season when berries and fruit are at their most fragrant and affordable.
