Just a brief

Have you ever planted something and wondered how it becomes something you end up eating? I took a Horticulture class for a semester and i planted many things, but i've always wondered how it becomes food. For example, my teacher worked side by side with my consumer foods teacher and while one planted seeds, the other would make some kind of food when the seeds grew. Trust me, the day when my teacher, Mrs.Oliver came in with a plate full of Focaccia, i was a happy girl because it was delicious. But once again, how? Anyways, for my raspberry jam or any type of jam experiment coming up in August, i've decided to manipulate the ingredients a bit. Instead of sugar, i would add brown sugar and see what changes or if the jam will even change.
