Spices
To turn this jam into a Christmas delight, I add spices that will remind you of the holiday season.
This includes green cardamom, star anise, and cinnamon.
I think the combination of these 3 spices alone is more than enough to bring out the flavors of the fruits and to make you realize with each bite that the jam is magical.
Sugar
This jam, as are all my jams, is prepared without pectin sugar because it’s based on the French way of preparing jam.
Real regular sugar is used instead, which preserves the jam really well for many months.
Please do not reduce the sugar quantity in this Christmas jam recipe, because the sugar is not only a sweetener but also the main ingredient that preserves the fruits.
