   Tip: Make sure to sprinkle the sugar and pectin mixture evenly over the purée, rather than dumping the whole mixture in at once as it may clump into a ball.

   Tip: To test for when the jam is set, spoon some onto a marble surface or plate, let cool for 1 minute, then run your finger through it to see if the jam stays put and doesn’t run back together. If it stays put, then it’s ready!

   Remove the pot from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer the jam to a bowl . Chill in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to use.
