Jam can be very easily made at home using the ingredients available at home. Homemade jam will be very healthy and tasty compared to store bought one as the homemade one does not contain artificial colors, preservatives, and added pectin. Pectin is important in jam making as this helps in jellying or bringing the fruit and sugar together. Pectin is present in most of the fruits naturally. Just we need to select the fruits that contain pectin. We can make jam with single fruit or with combination of fruits.
