How to select strawberry jam?
-
Good strawberry jam has a soft even consistency without distinct pieces of berry.
- It should be of bright colour, have a good fruit flavour and a semi-jellied texture that is easy to spread but has no free liquid.
- It is better to opt for organic varieties with low organic sugar content.
- They also have the added benefit of containing no added preservatives or flavours- you get the original and natural taste.
- Check the manufacturing date and expiry date before buying.
How to make strawberry jam at home
- To prepare a strawberry jam at home, wipe the strawberries with a piece of damp kitchen paper. Wiping the strawberries instead of washing them ensures the fruit doesn’t absorb a lot of water – too much water and the jam won’t set easily. Pick strawberries that are red through and through. An under ripe strawberry will be white or slightly greenish at the top. They are sour and the jam will require more refined sugar and might still taste a little sour.
-
Remove the stems and discard them. When strawberries are not in season and you wish to make this jam then make use of frozen strawberries.
-
Cut strawberries roughly and transfer to a deep bowl. You can also use other types of berries or stone fruit like blueberry, raspberry, apricots, mango, etc to make varieties of jams. Learn to make strawberry jam at home.
How to select dark chocolate
-
Most supermarkets and specialty stores sell dark chocolate these days. It is also available in cafes and cake shops. Buy from a trusted store to ensure maximum freshness.

- Make sure the chocolate is not soft and molten.
- If the chocolate is soggy, you should use it within a few days.
- When buying, always check the expiry date.
- Dark chocolate does not expire too soon and can sometimes last for a few months or even years from the time it was made, if stored properly.
