Mixed Fruit Jam - Home Made

MIXED FRUIT JAM  -  HOME MADE

I tried this Mixed Fruit Jam with the fruits that I bought for Vinayaka Chathurthi. And , trust me, it came very well. I love to give the recipe.



 

Ingredients

Apple - 2
Banana - 2
Pomegranate - 1
Black Grapes - 2 cups
Papaya - 2 Cups
Pine Apple - 5 slices
Lemon Juice - 2tsp
Sugar - 1/2 kg

* You can take fruits of your choice. If you want your Jam to be dark in colour then you can have more strawberries and black grapes. Take banana for that beautiful smell of the jam.

Method

1. Clean all fruits, and grind well in a mixer grinder to get a fine fruit pulp. (I got 4 cups of fruit pulp. So I took 2 cups Sugar - approximately 1/2 kg)



2. In a thick bottomed pan pour the pulp and add sugar and mix well and keep in medium flame. (If you use Induction Stove, then you can opt for slow cook option - this works really well)



3. If it starts thickening, then add lemon juice and mix well and continue.



4. Cook until jam thickens. It may take 1 to 1.30 hours in low flame. Stir regularly. You can stop cooking until the consistency is reached.



5. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly. Immediately store in a sterilised Bottle.

To check if Jam is ready:

* If you pour your Jam, it should not flow in drops.

* Pour few drops of jam in a plate, it must stay firm without flowing.





How it looks? Try yourself and enjoy the taste. Definetely it tastes more than the branded one because it is the fruit of our labour. Am I right?




Have a Nice Day.
