What does Strawberry Jam Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Ingredients

strawberries

The strawberry is a fruit that is generally viewed as a berry, but botanically is more of a fruit. They grow near the ground on clusters of thin green stalks. The fruit varies in size from less than an inch in diameter and length to roughly two inches or more. The average size is often under 2 inches. This fruit is round and fat with a wider top and gently pointed bottom. Seeds lie in tiny indents on the bright red flesh. The fruit is soft and juicy with a bright sweetness. Strawberries are used in jams, desserts, ice creams and more.

corn syrup

Corn syrup is made from the starch of corn and is a high glucose product. There are different kinds of corn syrup, high fructose, light and dark. The syrup is viscous and sticky from the sugar content. The flavor is sweet and is used in many food products in America. It is also used in baked goods to improve the texture and add volume. Corn syrup is made to be added to food and not eaten as is.

sugar

Sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beets. The sugar is extracted from the juice of both plants and refined into the granulated substance known as sugar. Sucrose, the sweet substance of sugar is a combination of glucose and fructose. White sugar is composed of tiny white, dry granules. The flavor is sweet and neutral. Brown sugar is brown and has more moisture, with a richer flavor that hints at molasses. Sugar is used in both sweet and savory foods.

additives

Additives are added to food items in small quantities to improve the flavor, change the texture, enhance appearance, or preserve the item. Additives are both natural and artificial. Natural additives have been used for a long time, while many artificial ones were discovered in the 19th century. There are numerous artificial additives including soy lecithin, guar gum, ascorbic acid and sodium nitrite.
