JAMs HISTORY FACT
Jam-making methods are linked to some of the earliest ways of preserving food, which date all the way back to the Stone Age (around 2.6 million years ago!). During the Stone Age (also known as the Paleolithic period), people discovered ways to preserve food for storage, to make survival easier when food was scarce.Preservation using honey or sugar was one common method and the Ancient Greeks also used to use honey to preserve quince. Syrups made from honey and sugar were also used to preserve food; honey has no moisture so it preserves any food encased within it.
