One detail on the packaging will help you choose the right sugar for jam.

At first glance, it seems that sugar differs only in price and brand of manufacturer.

That's why people buy the cheaper and trusted brand first. But not every product is suitable for a particular occasion.

For example, many housewives stock up on sugar to make jam for the winter from their favorite berries: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants and others.

However, in some cases, the consumption of sugar is high, and the thickness and sweetness are not increased. The thing is that any sugar has quality categories. They are always indicated on the back of the package in letters and numbers.

The TC1 and extra markings indicate high-quality sugar with a high degree of purification. Products with the TC2 and TC3 markings are not suitable for preparations.

In these cases, the addition of impurities is allowed, so the pack does not only contain "pure" sugar. If you use TC2 or TC3, you will have to add 1.5-2 times more product to get the desired result. Therefore, it turns out that there is no real savings.
