How to Use (Simple Step-by-Step)

1. Prepare the fruit
   Wash, chop, or mash your fruit. For best results, measure 1 kg of fruit per 500 g of Gelierzucker 2:1.
2. Mix fruit and gelling sugar
   Combine the fruit with the Dr Oetker Gelierzucker 2:1 in a large pot and stir well.
3. Bring to a boil
   Heat the mixture while stirring continuously. Once it reaches a full rolling boil, let it boil for 3 minutes.
4. Test the gel
   Place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it firms up, it's ready. If not, boil for 1 more minute.
5. Fill into jars
   Pour the hot jam immediately into clean, sterilised jars. Seal them tightly and turn the jars upside down for 5 minutes to create a vacuum seal.
