Making Jam in a Copper Pot

Using a copper pot to make jams has been the preferred professional method of creating delicious preservatives for centuries. The copper pot is the quintessential key in successfully making jams, and for two major reasons: heat and flavor.

The fundamental ingredient to making a delicious jam is heat. Copper pots are highly conductive, which therefore allows for precise control of the temperature. This means that making jams in your copper pots requires less heat, cutting down on cooking time and saving energy in the long run. This shorter time is perfect for those who need to produce large amounts of jams in short time frames.

Additionally, copper pots are excellent in preserving the food.  When using a copper pan or pot, the fruits included in your jams never lose their flavor or color. Unlike aluminum and other metals, copper does not alter the health benefits or texture of the food. They are perfect for food preservation.

It is important to mention that with any copper pot, make sure your fruit and sugar are combined before placing in the copper pot to eliminate the possibility of a reaction. Whether you’re a professional jam maker or looking to start a new hobby, you should add a copper pot to your collection!
