Homemade fruit jam is easier to make than I expected.
It only requires 3 ingredients and most of the time, youll probably have them in your pantry.
For every pound of fruit, youll need 1/4 2/3 cup of granulated sugar.

The amount is determined by how sweet the fruit is and how ripe it is.
Peel all of your fruits if they have a peel and cut them into small pieces.
Toss the fruit in sugar and let it sit for 1-2 hours or overnight wrapped in the fridge.
This breaks down the fruit and pulls out liquid to help dissolve the sugar.
This changes the flavor a lot and it mellows the sweetness.
Overall, this inspired me to make jam because my dad buys it so often.
I would rather make it myself so I can reduce the sugar if I needed to.
