I have posted strawberry jam already in the blog ,got many request on mixed fruit jam and pineapple so thought of posting this .I always make strawberries,mixed fruit and pineapple jam but didn't get a chance to click pics so this time decided to take some pics and post it .Here i have used pressure cooker to cook the fruits which saved my time.
I'll be sharing other jams in this month .For now enjoy making Mixed fruit jam
Makes 700 gms
Ingredients
12-15 strawberries hulled
1 apple seeds removed
250 gms black grapes
7-8 grapes
1 ripe banana
1 orange deseeded and pith removed
300 gms Sugar*
Method
Notes
Jam thickens once cooled so don't overcook or wait till its very thick it should just reach jam consistency.
You can use any fruits of your choice adding strawberries blueberries plum a and black grapes gives the jam a lovely colour so do add any of these .
This jam was not over sweet it was just perfect for us if you like jam to be very sweet you can increase the sugar .
The fruits I used were all sweet hence I used less sugar
You may skip orange and add 2 tbsp lime juice instead .
While cooking the fruits with sugar you may find the scum coning up ,discard the scum if any.
