Every time I made jam and discarded the skimmed off foam I felt like I was throwing away good food. It turns out I did just that. There is little information about using the foam from jam making. However jam foam can be reconstituted one batch at the time. The texture will be a bit different, but the end result will still be jam. I packed the reconstituted jams into a sterilized containers and put them in the fridge. These will be used for breakfast and baking.
MAKING JAM FROM JAM FOAM
• Place the foam in a large glass bowl and pop it into a microwave for 30 to 60 seconds or so on high.
• Be sure to watch it the entire time, or it may boil over.
• You want to get it hot again and to boil up a bit.
• Once you remove it and cools, it will look, act and taste like regular jam again.
• Place the reclaimed jam in the fridge and use it up fresh.
