Let’s take a fist jam for example.
1. GOST 31712-2012 allows the use of whole, chopped and chopped berries. In this case, the berries, despite their shape, should be evenly distributed over the jam. Jam is not a berry layer and a fill layer.
2. If jam drips from the spoon in separate drops or does not keep its shape on a plate, which means that during its production or storage there were some shortcomings and mistakes.
3. The composition of the jam is simple:. This is the norm. But lack of natural pectin in the berries themselvesmanufacturers often compensate by adding other juices or fruit purees, for example from. Nothing wrong with that.
4. A good jam is characterized by a bright natural aroma, thick consistency and juicy color. In taste should not be dominated by caramel notes of sugar syrup… An exception is made only for dried fruit products. Also, seeds can sometimes come across in jam – but producers should not abuse the abundance of hard seeds.
5. The jam should contain at least a third (35%) of the fruit part, that is, berries. If the jam is proudly called “”, then the berries should be even more – 40%.
And lastly, if you see that jam is candied, then you can’t buy it.This is an obvious marriage.
