There is nothing better than having a delicious jam in the refrigerator to enjoy with toast or pancakes during breakfast or dinner; it’s easy, quick, and tasty. The downside is that some jams have too much sugar and preservatives, making them not very healthy, no matter what the label says. The best thing is to make your own and know exactly what they contain, which is why today we share 5 recipes for our best jams. Pineapple Jam If you love tangy and tropical flavors, you will adore this jam. Unlike commercial jams, you can control the amount of sugar you add or the texture you prefer, allowing you to create it exactly how you and your family like it. You can use it for desserts, for breakfast, and even for savory dishes like chops and pork leg. Strawberry Jam If there is a queen of jams, it is strawberry jam. Kids love it, and it goes with any type of breakfast you can imagine; it's the best companion for toast. Don't forget to always keep it in the refrigerator since it doesn’t have preservatives, and you should take care of it to make it last as long as possible, although in reality, it might be gone by the first day. Peach Jam Another morning classic is peach jam. This preparation takes no more than 20 minutes to make, and you only need four ingredients to have it ready. It’s light, silky, and versatile; you can use it with bread or to decorate and add another dimension to your cookies and cakes. Remember that if you want to add other spices like vanilla or cinnamon, you can also play with the recipe. Chile Jam Who said jam has to be sweet? If you’ve noticed, this jam is becoming increasingly popular in restaurants as it is a great gourmet alternative to traditional sauces. It’s almost like a cream with the smoky flavor of ancho and pasilla chiles, featuring a salty and garlicky taste but also with a special sweetness. It’s ideal for ciabattas or even for grilled meats. Orange Jam There are several ways to get that vitamin C you need for the cold months of the year, and this is the sweetest and most fun way. Orange jam is super easy to make and is full of flavors ranging from vanilla to cinnamon, along with the super fragrant orange zest.
