Ingredients for Gac Jam For 4 people

How to choose good gac
- To choose good gac, you should select fruits with bright red skin, with evenly expanded spines on the skin, and the gac fruit should be round and of moderate size.
- When you hold the gac, it should feel heavy and firm, pressing lightly on the skin should feel slightly hard, and the stem should be fresh and firmly attached to the fruit, indicating it is ripe and has good flesh.
- You should not buy gac fruits with soft skin or wilted stems, as these are fruits that have been left for too long or are spoiled, which will not taste good when processed.

How to preserve gac jam
- Gac jam has a thick, sticky consistency, so you should cook the jam again before storing it to keep it longer.
- When storing, you should place the jam in a glass jar, seal it tightly, and put it in the fridge fridge. With this storage method, you can use the jam for 2 months.
- You can also preserve the jam by placing it in a zip bag, sealing the bag tightly, and putting it in the freezer. When you want to use it, just take the jam out and microwave it in microwave for about 15 – 20 seconds to use it right away.
- When taking gac jam out for use, you must dry any utensils that will come into contact with the jam, avoiding using wet utensils to take gac jam. After using, you should seal the jar tightly again and place it back in the fridge.
