Nutmeg Jam
Ingredients :
- Outer covering of the nutmeg - 1kg
- Crushed
nutmeg
- 1/4tsp
- Sugar
- 2kg
Method :
Cut the nutmeg into very small pieces. Take a vessel and
put the nutmeg pieces and water in it. The water level must be above the nutmeg
pieces. Cook it. When it is done, allow it to cool. After that mash the nutmeg
pieces in a
liquidiser and add the crushed nutmeg into it and sieve through a clean white
cloth. There should be 15 cups of this solution.
Boil the nutmeg solution with 2kg of sugar in a
vessel. Stir continuously with a wooden ladle. When the jam thickens, remove
it from the fire. Pour the jam into dry bottles and when it cools, close the
bottle with the cap. Before closing remove any bubbles formed above the
jam.
Note: To test whether the jam is done, cool the jam
on a ladle. When cool, the jam should fall from the tilted ladle in flakes
rather than in drops.
