Quick fruit jam
This is a modernist jam which uses agar agar to set it. However, it does not have the keeping qualities of standard jam so it is best to make it in small quantities.

Chef's notes
Keep in the fridge at all times and it should last a couple of weeks at least. I sterilised my jars, but I am not sure that that is necessary as the jam should be used up quickly.
