5 Easy Homemade Jam and Marmalade Recipes
Jams are known and appreciated around the world but harvesting seasons are often short, so it is a great idea to capture the freshness of the fruit for later use. Homemade jam and marmalade is a wonderful way to transform these flavours and preserve seasonal products.
From classic recipes to more daring concoctions, we love the variety of jams available! Some can be consumed alone or as a spread on toast for breakfast, to accompany a cheese platter or they can be used into other recipes like desserts and sauces. From strawberries to cherries and persimmons with vanilla flavour, our list is extensive.
The difference between jam and marmalade is an important fact. Both taste great but there are significant variants when it comes to identifying them. Jam is made with whole fruits, and marmalades with whole citrus fruits including the rind.
Get the right tools, pick the fruit that is in season, and follow our easy recipes! Making jam is not technical and it needs only little attention during cooking. Can we turn you into a jam or marmalade lover?
The harvesting season for cherries is short, but preserving them and making jam is a fantastic way to enjoy this delicious fruit all year. It will come as no surprise that this recipe is bursting with chunky cherries and summer flavours.
2. Tea infused white peach jam
White peaches can be difficult to find but when you can get hold of them, it is certainly worth preserving some for later. Infusing jasmine tea lifts this jam recipe to the next level.
Persimmons are another wonderful ingredient for jam and it is straightforward to prepare. Jam made of this fruit is not readily available at stores and making it yourself is the only way to capture these unique flavours.
