Jam

Jam is a type of sweet spread made from fruit, sugar, and sometimes pectin. It is typically made by cooking crushed or chopped fruit with sugar until it reaches a thick consistency. The fruit used in jam can vary, but common flavors include strawberry, raspberry, apricot, and peach. Jam is often used as a topping for bread, toast, or pastries, and can also be used as an ingredient in baking or cooking. It is a popular choice for breakfast or snack items and is commonly found in households and restaurants.
