  • Use a large pot: Jam can bubble up and overflow, so it's important to use a large pot that gives the jam plenty of room to boil.
  • Stir the jam frequently: Stirring the jam frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making jam. It will help you to ensure that the jam reaches the correct consistency.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing: Once the jam is made, let it cool completely before storing it in jars. This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.
