Set a small fire underneath your cauldron and bring the fruit mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer until the fruit has softened.
Now that all the little perfect squares were crushed, Brody looked up at the blackboard to see what the next instruction was. Whatever it would be, this fruit mixture thing smelt quite nice, not as nice as it probably tasted, but still nice. Carefully the set a small fire underneath the cauldron, before peeping over the top, to make sure that the mixture didn't boil too much. She didn't particuarly want to be hit in the face with boiling strawberry juice. That wouldn't be nice, and she really didn't want to get burnt.
With her wand she swished it a little, making the fruit mixture move around the cauldron, so that it wouldn't be burn. That would be important, because she didn't want her yummy strawberries to burn heh. And now it was boiling. She glanced up at the blackboard again to see what she had to do next. Reduce and let the mixture simmer. Pointing her wand at the small fire under the cauldron, and reduce it, so it wasn't letting the mixture boil, but instead it was simmering.
She looked in the cauldron again, watching the mixture, it seemed everything was okay in there, so she wasn't going drastically wrong, which was pretty good, because she generally wanted to make nice tasting jam, not horrifying tasting jam Quote:
* Depending on which type of fruit you are using, a different amount of sugar is required. It all comes down to personal taste. Fruits that are already sweet will need roughly 4 cups of sugar. Fruits that are not particularly sweet.. roughly 6.
After her furit mixture had simmered, Brody looked up at the blackboard again, to see what the had to do next. Ooh Sugar. That would make the mixture sweet right. Now Strawberries. They were quite sweet already, from what she could have guessed when she ate one, so she would only need 4 cups of sugar. She didn't have a sweet tooth, but she didn't really think that 6 cups of sugar would make her jam actually taste that nice, it would probably make it horrible, and bit sugary. heh.
Picking up a cup, she added four cups of sugar into the fruit mixture, before swishing it around with her wand again, to make sure that it would be all mixed it. Perfect. She glanced sideways, smiling at her best friend. She still thought it was amazing that they were both making strawberry jam. Best friends FTW
