Equipment for jam making

Equipment for jam making

You do not need a preserving pan.  A large saucepan will serve the same purpose.  It needs to be a big one because the jam will rise while cooking.  Should only be one-third full of sugar and fruit to permit the necessary rolling boil.  An aluminium pan is best because it will not affect the taste.  Never use an iron pan because the acid in the fruit will react on the discolouring of the jam and giving it a metallic taste.  An enamal pan is safe as long as it is not chipped.  The pan should be fairly thick or the jam will burn easily.  You will also need a long a handled wooden spoon for stirring and a ladlw or cup for potting the jam.
