Apricot & Passionfruit Jam

Made this batch of apricot & passionfruit jam few months back. Fresh apricots is not always readily available in supermarket here and it is usually quite steep for a punnet. So that time when I saw this turkish fresh apricots was on sale, I quickly grab a few packs for jam making.






Ingredient

• 600gm fresh apricots, stones removed
• 80gm passionfruit pulp
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 250gm sugar

Method

1. Cut the apricots into quarters and place in a large pan with 50ml water. Cover and cook over low heat for 10mins until tender.
2. Remove from heat and add the sugar, passionfruit pulp and lemon juice.
3. Heat slowly, stirring, for 5 min until all the sugar has dissolved. Return to boil and cook for 30mins, stirring often. Remove any scum during cooking.  When the jam falls from a tilted wooden spoon in thick sheets without dripping, it is ready.
4. Spoon the hot jam immediately into clean, warm jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 mins, then invert and leave to cool. Can be place in cool dark place for 6 months, store in fridge upon opening.
