Silver Spoon Preserving Sugar is perfect for making marmalade, jams and preserves using fruits that are naturally high in pectin. 
 
The large sugar crystals dissolve slowly and reduce the risk of burning or the need for stirring and skimming. Silver Spoon Preserving Sugar also produces less froth, which helps create a clearer preserve. 
 
Use with fruits such as plums, redcurrants, blackcurrants, gooseberries, greengages, damsons and Seville oranges.

You’ve got your recipe, you have the ideal sugar, now for some Top Tips to guide you through the making process: 
 
-&nbsp;If you’re wondering how to tell when your jam is close to it’s setting point; You can spot the change in the rolling boil (Rolling boil? check out out FAQs where we explain further) as the bubbles will turn to a slower pace and the surface of the jam&nbsp;will look shiny and feel thicker when you stir it. The air bubbles will go as the jam thickens and forces the air out. The temperature should read 105°c but be&nbsp;careful not to overdo it. If you over cook the jam, the process cannot be reversed. 
 
- Choose your jar. If you’re going for something with a twist metal lid, you do not need to use waxed discs. Make sure you sterilize your jars to keep the contents as fresh as possible. 
 
-&nbsp;When you come to jarring your jam, make sure you fill to the brim when the temperature of the jam is still over 85°c. 
 
Now you have the know how, why not give it a go?
