Step 3: Simmer Continue to cook the mixture on low heat. The sugar will dissolve, and the jam will start to thicken. This process should take about 20-30 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Test the Jam’s Consistency To test if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it gels and doesn’t run when you tilt the plate, it’s ready. If it’s too runny, keep simmering and testing every few minutes until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5: Bottling Once the jam is ready, remove the pot from the heat. Let the jam cool for a few minutes, then ladle it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars while they’re still hot to ensure a good seal.
