    Making homemade jams are always my favorite things to try at home. I don't like the thick, jelly like jam which you get in stores. They dont taste like fruit jams at all, I love the real fruits getting cooked as jam, they taste so fresh and clean.

    One of my aunty makes jam from over ripes fruits which are collected at the bottom of the fruits bowls, like over riped bananas, apples, grapes and stuff like that. Those jam taste so heavenly when made as jam sandwiches and toasted with real butter.

    One of my favorite fruit jam is pineapple. They smell so heavenly and taste so yum when made into jams. I have already made tomato jam and orange jam. They turned out so good that i couldn't stop making a bottle of jam for myself. I love adding jams to my baking recipes too..Here are my experiments, Jam filled cupcakes and Cherry brownies.

    Because of my love for homemade jams, i have tried a apple jam recipe yesterday and they were yum. Will post that soon.

    Now add in food colouring and mix well. 

    Switch off the flame and add in the lemon juice. Mix well.

    Allow it to cool down completely. 

    Now take a clean dry glass jar and store this jam in it.

    Enjoy with warm buttered toast or as a sandwich.

        You must have over cooked it. Add little more pineapple puree and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.
