Line 1: − '''Jam''' is a type of sweet spread or condiment made with [[fruit]]s or sometimes (though rarely) vegetables, sugar, and sometimes pectin if the fruit's natural pectin content is insufficient to produce a thick product. Jam and its variations are often spread on [[bread]], and used as a culinary sweetener, for example in yogurt. − Jam appears in some English sweet foods such as the 'Jam doughnut' (albeit in less viscous form), the 'Jam Rolypoly' (beloved of many who had to eat school-dinners as children), 'Jam Tarts' (not as rude as they sound) and 'Jammy Dodgers' (regarded by many to be the finest [[biscuit]] in the world). − − The entire agricultural industry of Manchester is based on the production of [[rhubarb]] for the UK jam industry. Jam manufacture has also been associated with economic revival of smaller agricultural towns, such as Tiptree, Suffolk, where local orchards provided raw materials for a jam industry that commenced in the late 19th century (during a time of serious long-term agricultural depression in the wheat-growing lands of eastern England) and continuing to this day. − − [[Category:Food and Drink]]
