SLC22-W4 // Jam (Pineapple Jam) by @rossnenye

Hello everyone, good evening to you all and welcome back to my blog. Hope your all had a lovely day today. I'm so glad to participate in this SLC. I really learnt a lot today.

✓ Have you ever made jams? Tell us about your experience.

No I haven't made Jam alone before in my life. My sister is the one who loves making Jam and she is good at it. Prior to this class, I thought making a Jam was one difficult task but I was so happy when I tried the recipe, it was very easy. It was really fun while I made it.

✓ Present a jam recipe, you can make the recipe presented in this course or the recipe of your choice (details utensils, ingredients and step by step).

So I used my Sister's recipe and I will start by listing the ingredients I used in making this Jam

• Half Kilo of Pineapple
• 250grams of Sugar
• 1 Lemon
• I Tablespoon of vanilla

Procedure

• I had already peeled Pineapple in the fridge so I just measured it and cut in into tiny cubes.

• I added the Pineapple to a manual blender and blended it.

• After that, I added it to the pot.

• I added Sugar, vanilla and lemon and begin to stir it continuously while it cooked. I cooked it for 35 minutes approximately, ensuring that it doesn't stick to the pot.

• Turn off the heat after approximately 35 minutes.

• I dropped few quantity of the Jam on a Glass plate to check if it remained firm and doesn't spread which shows it's ready.

• After it cooled down, I stored the Pineapple Jam in the sterilized container.

Utensils

I used the following utensils

• Cooking pot
• Knife
• Jar Container
• Manual blender
• Bowl
• Spatula

✓ Did you encounter any difficulties when making your jam?

Making this was quite easy for me, the only difficulty I encountered was my phone, it was giving me issues and after taking pictures while making the Jam, I discovered that some of the pictures I look were lost and that it while I didn't upload complete pictures of the Recipe.

✓ Do you have any special tips for making jam? Share them.

This is my first time of making Jam on my own so I don't have any special tips for making it, but ensure that the fruit you use in making your Jam is ripe and not overripe or spoilt.

✓ If you had to choose one food to accompany your jam, what would it be? Present your choice by showing how you would enjoy both ingredients together.

If I'm to choose one food to accompany my Jam, it would definitely be bread. Bread and Jam is a sweet combo enjoyed by so many people including myself. Infact I had the combination this night after making it.
