- Then simmer while stirring often until the mixture thickens.
- To check if it is thick enough - put a spoon into it , and rub your finger on the back of the spoon, it leaves a clear path in the jam

Notes
This lasts for about 10-14 days in the refrigerator in an airtight jar.
The jam will thicken further as it cools.
For a stronger cinnamon flavour, you can use powdered cinnamon instead.
The cup I use for measuring is 240 ml.
