Solution and Explanation

The sheet test is a simple and traditional method used to find the end point of fruit jam preparation.
While making jam, it is important to know when the mixture has reached the right consistency to set properly when cooled.
In the sheet test, a small amount of boiling jam is dropped onto a cold plate and allowed to cool slightly.
If the jam forms a gel-like consistency and folds or wrinkles when pushed with a finger or spoon, it indicates that the end point has been reached.
This ensures that the jam will have the desired spreadable texture and will not be too runny or too hard.
The sheet test is a quick and practical method often used by small-scale processors and home makers.
