The choice of fruit for jam-making is almost endless. I always try to use seasonal fruit to get the best flavour for my jam. Slightly unripe or "just ripe" fruit will form a jam more easily than very ripe fruit as it contains more pectin and is more acidic. The high-pectin quince lent itself to making this well-set fruit preserve. In Greece, a common spiced preserve of quinces was known as melomeli (apple honey) and was thought to be an aphrodisiac and to aid digestion. In Britain, it was adapted to incorporate other fruits, such as pears, damsons, plums, and finally Seville oranges, becoming marmalade. Eventually, when sugar prices fell late in the 17th century, marmalade became a soft jelly that, smeared on toast, became a staple of the Scottish breakfast. Of course this does not need to be a small batch – simply scale it up to make more – but the cooking time will be longer! Ingredient Ratios Prepare the jam jars by washing in hot soapy water and leaving to dry and warm in a cool oven - 130C/250F/Gas ½ for 10-15 minutes.

First cut up the fruit and remove the stones. This does take a moment, but the big advantage of making small batches of jam is that I don’t spend all afternoon cutting nectarines – we’re only using about 4 large nectarines in this recipe. Pectins are long, linked chains of sugar molecules, which are found naturally in plant cell walls. Although we refer to them in general as ‘pectin’, their structures are variable, as well as hard to determine; a rough general structure is given in the graphic, but in reality the overall structure can be much more complicated. Pectins are found in fruits, particularly in the peels and cores. When jam sets, pectin plays a vital role. Flavour. You can choose the best, freshest fruit and make amazingly flavourful jam. The speed of cooking also helps give best results – no boiling away the flavour.
