Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about our recipes.
Sugar plays a crucial role in preservation and setting. We recommend using recipes specifically designed for reduced sugar, which require low-sugar pectin.
Properly sealed and processed jams can last up to one year in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within three weeks.
Yes, frozen fruit works well and is often picked at peak ripeness. Thaw completely and drain excess liquid before using in recipes.
Common causes include insufficient cooking time, incorrect pectin ratio, or high humidity. You can reboil with additional pectin to fix runny jam.
