What is Fruit Pulp?
Fruit pulp is the juicy, fleshy part of the fruit that is left after removing the skin and seeds. It is a concentrated source of the fruit's flavour, aroma, and nutrients. By using real fruit pulp in your fruit spreads or jams, you can enjoy the authentic taste of the fruit and its health benefits. Jams from Southside Habits focus on giving the consumers the natural flavours and aromas of fruit based jams and spreads.

For a basic fruit spread or jam, you will need:
- 4 cups of fresh fruit pulp (any fruit of your choice)

Method to make delicious fruit jam:
