How to Make Jam

• 1 pound fruit
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Seasonings to taste
• 2 tablespoons juice
• Vinegar

1. Put 1 pound fruit (pitted and chopped if necessary) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. After a minute or so, add 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste), seasonings to taste and 2 tablespoons juice, vinegar or whatever liquid you prefer.
3. Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily, using higher heat if the mixture looks too soupy; lower the heat if it seems dry.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick 10 to 30 minutes.
5. Cool completely and refrigerate; it will thicken more as it cools.
6. Store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for at least a week.
7. If necessary, remove any seasonings (like lemon-grass stalks) before serving.
