Kraft Kitchen Tips!
Food Facts
Measure ingredients accurately. Prepared fruit should be measured in a glass measuring cup after chopping. Sugar should be measured in a dry measuring cup that can be leveled off with a knife.
Food Facts
Sugar helps jams and jellies set properly, so don't reduce the amount of sugar used in jam or jelly recipes.
How to Accurately Measure the Sugar
To ensure accuracy of the sugar measure when preparing jams or jellies, use a dry measuring cup to measure the sugar, then place all the measured sugar in a separate bowl before adding it to the boiling fruit mixture in saucepan.
