# Stovetop Jam Recipe - Made In

Make use of fresh seasonal fruits with this easily customizable and endlessly versatile stovetop jam recipe, courtesy of Chef Erika Chan of LA’s Rustic Canyon.

Jam is a wonderful way to celebrate different seasonal fruits. It can be spread on freshly made bread, added to salad dressing, or layered in cakes. Chef Erika Chan of Rustic Canyon in Los Angeles uses jam in many of her desserts, including her beets and berries birthday cake. This simple recipe combines fresh fruit and sugar in a Stainless Clad Saucier, letting them cook down before mixing in some pectin to set it. Erika uses strawberries here, but feel free to use whatever berries are in season where you are and adjust the sugar accordingly.

  
This recipe can easily be cut in half to make a smaller batch of jam. You can store it in glass mason jars or in plastic deli containers. As it isn’t canned, make sure you keep it in the fridge and use up or discard within a month. Malic acid adds tartness and is available online but Chef Chan says you can omit it if need be.
