TCP JAM From SCRAP!

Jam typically contains both the juice and flesh of a fruit or vegetable. The term 'jam' refers to a product made of whole fruit cut into pieces or crushed and heated with water and sugar to activate its pectin before being put into containers.

From my previous blog regarding juicing, i have mentioned that when the fruits got extracted and produced the juice, the juicer separated the pulp which is fiber. Thank God for the knowledge He imparted to a practical mom like me that wasting is strictly no room! I have to think of what could possibly do with those fiber from tomato, cucumber and pineapple that i used for juicing. Gladly that jam runs quickly into my mind, and that i began to do it!

TCP Jam by me!

I am excited to share with you this very simple jam that i made from a scrap and enjoyed by my son and me spreading over the plain crackers. For those who love to do juicing of  fruits or veggies, you could try to make jam too out of the separated pulp and fiber!

How to do JAM from scrap

1. Put the pulp/fiber in a sauce pan.
2. Add the sugar depending on how sweet you would like it.
3. Add water (mine don't have)
4. Cook it with constant stirring until reach the consistency you wanted for a jam.
5. Let it cool and spread over on plain crackers.
6. Serve!
