In winter, many people prepare baked goods with a delicious berry filling based on jam.
This helps to bring a pleasant variety to the traditional menu.
However, many housewives note that using jam in its "pure" form is a risky undertaking. Such a filling often spreads, which complicates the tasting process.
That's why many people add starch to jam. This allows even the most liquid product to become thicker and more concentrated. But the method has its drawbacks. In particular, it is important to mention that such a filling can turn out lumpy. Also, some people clearly feel the taste of starch.
How can you make the filling thicker without using this component?
If you want the filling to become thick, but its taste still remains impeccable, then you need to find a worthy replacement for starch. The product should have the property of a "thickener", but not spoil the taste.
Breadcrumbs are a great option. They do a great job of helping to prepare high-quality baked goods.
The amount of breadcrumbs is determined by the consistency of the jam itself. Therefore, first pour in a couple of spoons, stir the breading and evaluate the result. If necessary, the amount of breadcrumbs can be increased.
