From Farm to Jar

At myorganicjams.com every jam jar has a value and its own history. We will guide you through the entire jam making process step by step. With our help, you will understand how to make jam easy.

The journey starts on organic farms with fresh, ripe and healthy fruits. No chemicals or other harmful effects, only fresh fruits grown by farmers with passion for organic fruits. You should handpick the ripest fruits in the middle of the season or at the end of the season when they have the most flavor. This will help you to get the best taste of your jams. Source only the sweetest and ripest peaches, apples, pears or strawberries to find out how to make peach jam from fresh peaches and other fruits. If you don't have your own fruits choose the local farmers to support the local communities.

The next important place where the transformation from farm to jars take place is your kitchen. You can cook the fruits in a big kitchen pot, however, on the other hand cooking fruits in small batches helps to preserve their flavor. You can use white sugar in your jams, but we recommend using organic sugar or cane sugar. Use some citric acid or lemon juice to bring out a better taste.

Then prepare the jars and lids for canning. Wash the jars in soapy water and then rinse and drain them. Place the jars in the oven and keep there for 5 to 15 minutes or on the rack over the boiling water and then simmer. Fill the jars, seal them and label every jar with your handmade labels or find jam jar labels template or jam jar labels printable pdf.
