About 1.5 kg of strawberries is needed to make 1 kg of jam as strawberries lose water content and some are discarded during the process of making jam.
It depends on personal preference. If you prefer something sweet, jam may be better. If you need a tool for calculations, then a calculator would be more appropriate.
A typical pint of jam contains about 8 servings. This can vary slightly depending on the brand and the size of each serving.
Usally the pH balance for the jam is around three. It is not generally near four. The pH for Jam is usually 3.1 to 3.5.
To make jam, you typically start by preparing the fruit (washing, peeling, and chopping), then cook it with sugar and pectin until it thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, the hot jam is poured into sterilized jars and sealed. Finally, the jars are processed in a water bath to ensure they are properly sealed and preserved.
There is no microorganisms/bacteria living/growing in jam because it is so sweet and the sugar dehytrates the microorganisms so they can no longer live in the jam. So the answer is no, no microorganisms live in jam.
