Ingredients

  • 250 g passion fruit pulp fresh or frozen, with or without seeds (approx. 0.5lbs)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 200 g white granulated sugar (1 cup)

Instructions

  • Place a small plate in the freezer before you start cooking. You’ll use this to test when the jam is ready.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp, water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered, stirring frequently.
  • While cooking, skim off any foam that forms on the surface to keep the jam clear.
  • Once the jam begins to thicken, take the pot off the heat and check for doneness using the cold plate test:
  • Remove the plate from the freezer. Spoon a small drop of jam onto the cold plate:
    -Wait 30 seconds to let it cool and set.
    -Gently push the jam with your finger to check the consistency.
    - If the jam holds its shape and doesn’t run, it’s set and ready.
    -If it’s still runny, return the pot to the heat and continue cooking for a few more minutes before testing again.
  • Once the jam passes the plate test, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into a clean jar.
