Sophisticated in the preparation method
It is no exaggeration to say that Tet jam is a gift created by sophistication, which is reflected from the stage of selecting ingredients to the execution steps.
To create batches of delicious jam with natural flavors, right from the selection of ingredients, the processor needs to choose vegetables or fruits that are freshly picked, moderately ripe, fresh, and clean. Whether the jam is fragrant and delicious depends on this very step of selecting ingredients.
Choosing ingredients for making jam must be fresh, clean, and delicious
After preliminarily processing all ingredients, the processor will start cutting the ingredients into pieces or strips depending on the type of jam they are making. However, the consistent point when cutting for all types of jam is that one must choose a very sharp knife to have decisive cuts. Starting from when the cutting motion begins until it finishes, it must be done in a single stroke without interruption so that the jam peel remains smooth. After processing, continue to soak in lime water and salt water, then rinse with water.
Next is the jam simmering step. The most sophisticated part is perhaps in this very step. Not all types of vegetables and fruits are simmered the same way, but depending on the nature as well as the flavor of each type, the processor will simmer accordingly. Fruits with a sour taste and soft body will be simmered together, while vegetables and fruits with firm, hard bodies and those with a spicy taste will be simmered separately.
Simmering jam is one of the most important and sophisticated steps when making jam
There are types of jam that take up to a week from selecting ingredients to becoming the final product, some types of jam take time to air dry, and some types of jam go through two heating sessions... To get delicious batches of jam is an art of the person performing it. It is no exaggeration to say that the jam maker must be sensitive to the heat because just a little too much heat, the batch of jam is considered wasted. It is that elaborate, sophisticated care that creates batches of jam imbued with traditional flavors and full of vibrant colors.
Each type of jam will have different simmering methods and times, but the requirements for a delicious batch of jam are that after simmering, the jam must keep almost its original shape, be succulent with sugar on the outside, have dry sugar on the inside, and retain the natural sweet flavor, such as the nutty sweetness of coconut jam, lotus seed jam; the spicy sweetness of ginger jam; a little sour taste of tamarind jam...

Refined in the way of enjoyment
Jam is the crystallization of delicious vegetables and fruits, dried under the dry, sunny, and windy weather, simmered in sweet syrup, and created by the skillful hands of the processors. Therefore, Tet jam is sophisticated in preparation and refined in enjoyment.
Unlike other types of sweets, Tet jam is not for those in a hurry. Enjoying Tet jam must be slow and leisurely. The best is when enjoying lotus seed jam, ginger jam, kumquat candied fruit... with a steaming cup of tea. The moderate sweetness of the Tet jam pieces combined with a little bitterness of the tea makes that sweet, gentle flavor linger in the mouth.
Nothing is better than enjoying Tet jam with a good cup of tea
During Tet, sitting together with family, enjoying delicious types of jam, sipping a cup of tea, and telling each other happy stories next to peach and apricot blossoms in full bloom - there is no painting more beautiful than that!
