I would like to use CSR Jam Setting Sugar to make a non-berry based jam. Do I need to change the process or recipe at all to ensure my jam sets?
CSR Jam Setting sugar is not limited to the creation of berry based jams. It can be used for a number of other low pectin fruits i.e. apricots, cherries, plums and peaches. If using these types of fruits to make jam, ensure the fruit is sufficiently ripe (not over or under ripe). As these fruits are generally firmer than berries, it is important to break down the fruit with a potato masher, blender or bamix until a soft, mushy consistency is achieved (you can leave some chunkier fruit bits if you wish) prior to boiling. This will ensure the jam sets within the 4 minute rolling boil time.
