 PASSIONFRUIT & ORANGE JAM

1kg Passionfruit for pulp

4 Valencia oranges, juiced

2 lemons, juiced or

1 tspn pectin

1 kg sugar

750 ml water

1. If you don’t like the Passionfruit seeds, you can pass the pulp through a juicer to strain. Otherwise you can use them as it is.

2 Measure water and put all juices into a large heavy-based stainless-steel pot.

3 Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes, cover.

4 Off fire and leave to stand for 8 hrs or overnight.

5. Add sugar to mixture and bring to boil. Boil rapidly in high fire until jam has been reduced to 2/3 in volume.

6. Test for jam for setting by taking a teaspoon of mixture and put in freezer for a minute. If it wrinkles with a push of your finger on the jam it means the jam is ready.

7 Pack jam in sterilised jars while still hot. Cap and let cool before refrigerate.
