Mom Tips

Do not moisten your hands with margarine. Whenever necessary, moisten your hands with water and dry them lightly on a paper towel.

You can replace instant coffee with 1/3 cup of strong coffee.

How to get it just right: when the jam thickens, tip the pan a little to check if the jam is coming apart/peeling off naturally from the bottom of the pan. I say detaching/detaching and no oozing. If it is not coming apart, continue stirring a little more (4 to 5 turns with a wooden spoon around the pan) and tip the pan over again to look. For the recipe to be successful, you will have to tip the pan repeatedly and as many times as necessary until you notice that the jam is ready.
