Jam*, jam, fruit spread – as delicious as grandma’s and easy to make yourself. Today we’ll show you how it’s done and what you need!
You’re wondering: Already?? The berries on the bushes aren’t even ripe yet!
We say: You don’t always need fresh berries from the bush to create delicious fruit spreads. Amazing jam wonders can also be made with great, fruity not-from-concentrate juices, saving your Sunday breakfast.
Making jam* yourself is easy. With just
three things, you can whip up your new favorite jam:
- Preserving jars
- Jelling sugar
- Juice/berries
Jelling sugar:
Besides the fruit, sugar is the most important component of jam. Not only does it sweeten our favorite spread, but it also preserves it. There are different types: 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1. These numbers refer to the ratio of fruit to sugar. For a less sweet, jelly-like jam, we recommend 3:1 jelling sugar, where one part sugar is used for three parts fruit.
Juice/berries:
The choice of fruit for your jam or jelly is up to you. In
our recipe collection, you’ll find great recipes for tasty
fruit spreads featuring aronia berries. Get inspired!
Pro tip: You can also make wonderful jellies with our
7 Leben juices.

*= Although "jam" is commonly used for all types of fruit spreads, the term "marmalade" is only permitted for citrus-based products in the EU when selling or advertising fruit spreads/jams/jellies (
