Banana Papaya Jam
Ingredients :
- Ripe Papaya - 3cup
- Banana
- 3cup
- Sugar
- 6cup
- Citric
Acid - 1tsp
- Essence (optional)
Method :
Remove the skin and fibres of the banana and cut it
into
small pieces. Peel the skin and remove the seeds of the papaya. Take out the
soft flesh of the papaya with a spoon. Heat the banana and papaya pieces together
with some water. When cooked, smash the pieces and sieve the
pulp from it.
Boil the pulp in an aluminium or steel vessel. Stir continuously with a wooden ladle. When it
boils add the sugar slowly
into it. Boil it well by stirring continuously. To test whether the jam is done,
pour some jam on a dry plate. Allow it to cool and tilt the plate. If it is
done, the jam will fall in flakes. Then add the citric acid
to it (if needed add the essence) and remove from fire and pour into a dry
bottle. When the jam cools, close the mouth of the bottle.
