The spoon test is a very useful trick when making jam and marmalades. It shows you how stiff your product is, and whether it needs further boiling.
Take a cool plate and a cold spoon. Use a different spoon to place about half a teaspoon of jam on the plate. With the cold spoon, trace a line through the jam. If the ‘canal’ that you’ve just created fills back in, then the jam needs further cooking. If the ‘canal’ stays open, then the jam is finished.
