Step-by-Step Guide to Making Classic Garlic Jam

Making garlic jam can be a rewarding and creative kitchen adventure. This recipe transforms simple garlic into a sweet, savory spread. Start by peeling a generous amount of garlic cloves; roughly 20 cloves should do the trick. You have to chop them finely, but don’t worry about achieving perfection. A bit of uneven size adds character.


In a saucepan, combine your chopped garlic, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. The ratio is crucial; a good starting point is two cups of sugar to one cup of vinegar. Over medium heat, stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves. You’ll notice an aroma that’s both strange and enticing. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Your goal here is a thick, syrupy consistency.


While cooking, keep an eye on the texture. Some batches may be too runny; don’t be afraid to cook longer if needed. After the simmering, let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars. This step is essential for proper storage. As you taste it, consider the balance of sweetness and garlic. Each jar will tell a different story based on your choices. Embrace the imperfections; they make your garlic jam uniquely yours.

Glass-Bead Blasting

Abrasive media blasting is an excellent way to remove old paint, rust, and increase the paint/powder adhesion. Glass beads produce a much smoother and brighter finish than angular abrasives; leaving the part clean yet without any dimensional change. Chemically inert and environmentally friendly, we can recycle our beads approximately 30 times; making them a more preferred method of metal cleaning or surface finishing.

Advantages to Glass Bead Blasting are many. Glass bead blast media is used when a project is needing rough surfaces need to become smooth for applications of coatings such as paint. It is typically used to clean paint and rust from a product surface without deforming the surface it is being used on.

From fixing paint mistakes (someone else’s of course) to simply cleaning our paint line hooks, our burn-off oven is put to good use. After a quick burn-off, a little clean up, and a fresh coat of paint, your parts will look better than new.

Why does our Burn-Off Oven work so well? Because super heating the air around parts turns the materials into ashes. From paint and powder coatings to rubber and machining oils, high temps do the job without degrading the integrity of the part.

Masking

Masking is a vital part of producing high quality products. We have die-cut masking patterns to protect machined surfaces as well as a wide range of plugs and caps to protect threaded holes and bolts. We provide permanent and temporary masking.

Masking allows the selected sections of a product to be protected from a fabrication or finishing service. This can be with both chemicals when etching and tapes, paints when only finishing just a section of the product. Masking is great in aiding the customization process of a project.

Metal Finishing

Metal Finishing is the art of treating the exterior portion of product, often metal but can also be made of other materials, so that the surface is clean and free of any debris. Then the process of applying coats or either paint of powder coat takes place. This coating process improves the quality of the product in both appearance and resistance to wear and corrosion.

Tri-State Fabricators, Inc., understands that a project typically isn’t complete until a high-quality finish has been added to your product. This is why our painting and powder coating teams continuously inspect the products throughout the Metal Finishing process.
