Jam marmalade - a simple recipe for making at home
Jam and confiture are similar in composition, but there are also differences. Jam is made from unripe and dense berries and fruits. Pieces of fruit and seeds are allowed in it. The confiture is more liquid and jelly-like, has a jelly-like structure and clearly recognizable pieces of fruit. Jam is made from overripe fruits. Carrion is an excellent material for jam. In addition, most often the jam is brown in color, this is due to long boiling with a large amount of sugar. But this is not enough to turn ordinary jam into real marmalade.
To make marmalade from homemade or store-bought jam, you only need water, citric acid and gelatin.
The ratio of products is approximately as follows:
- 0.5 l jam;
- 200 g water;
- 40 g gelatin;
- 100 g sugar;
- Citric acid on the tip of a knife.
These parameters are standard, but you need to look at the density of the jam. If it is very thick, then you need to add a little more water.
Mix the jam with 100 grams of water, sugar and stir well so that there are no lumps.
Place the jam on the fire and heat it slowly, stirring the mass constantly.
Dilute the gelatin with the remaining water, and when the jam begins to boil, pour it into the pan.
Add citric acid and bring to a boil.
The mass should be liquid and viscous, like flower honey. If necessary, add more water and bring to a boil.
Remove the pan with jam from the heat and cool slightly.
Place the marmalade mixture into molds and place in the refrigerator to harden.
This marmalade jam is perfectly stored in jars, just like regular preserves. You can store it in a plastic container with a lid in the refrigerator, and have tasty and healthy jam marmalade all winter.
