Tips:
【Extreme Jam Cheats】
Material selection: When buying plums, you often see a layer of white powder on the surface of some plums. These natural fruit powders will only appear on the skin of fresh plums, which can be used to judge their freshness. Furthermore, if the fruit is plump and shiny, and the flesh is slightly softer but with elasticity, then the sweet and sour taste is just the top grade. If you want to make jam, choose plums with yellow flesh, which will have a more elastic taste.
