Why add soda to jam: this is what wise housewives do
It's hard to imagine a more appropriate time for making jam than the height of summer.
However, many housewives who have taken up this undoubtedly fascinating activity, to their chagrin, notice that some fruits have an overly sour taste.
They cite cherry plum fruits as a striking example.
Even a large amount of sugar cannot overcome such sourness.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, try using a simple life hack and add baking soda to the jam.
For 1 kg of raw materials (berries or fruits), a quarter teaspoon of soda is enough.
This ingredient in jam enhances the sweetness of the fruit without adding sugar or losing flavor, according to chefs who have tried this tip.
Finally, we’ll share one more clever trick with soda – it turns out that if you add a pinch of baking powder to a pan of beans, they’ll cook much faster.
