Fruit jam is a sweet spread made from cooked fruit and sugar. It is typically prepared by boiling fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches, with sugar until it thickens. The mixture is then cooled and can be stored in jars for later use. Fruit jam is often enjoyed on toast, in sandwiches, or as a topping for desserts. It can also be used in baking recipes, adding flavor to cakes and pastries. Many people make homemade fruit jam to preserve seasonal fruits and enjoy their taste year-round.
