We have a variety of delicious jam recipes to top off your bread experience. You'll also find step-by-step instructions for making each of these jams.

Tips for Making Successful Jam:

• Use firm ripe fruit for best flavor and set. Over-ripe fruit makes a soft set. Under-ripe fruit makes a firm set.

• Review the recipe and list of ingredients and equipment to be sure you have all of the ingredients on hand and enough jars and lids for canning.

• Measure ingredients exactly. Spoon sugar into dry (metal or plastic) measuring cups. Use liquid (glass or plastic) measuring cups with a pour spout to measure prepared fruit. Be sure to use the amount of sugar called for in each recipe. If you alter the recipes or ingredients, the jam might not set properly.

• Keep in mind that some jams and jellies may take up to 2 weeks to set.
