Mixed Fruit Jam - MEC Bottled

Those were the days when bread was not considered as

breakfast in our place.People bought bread only when

somebody was sick at home.But since Appa did his

college at Chennai he likes to have bread for breakfast at least

on Sundays.All my friends looked at me strangely when

Amma packed bread for school picnic.

During my childhood I like bread only because for

Kissan Jam.So Amma tried Tomato jam for the first time.I

still remember how I disliked those home made jam.Years

after Amma took a week course for making jam.After that

we never buy jam outside.Amma makes delicious mixed

fruit jam in a big Maltova or Bournvita bottle.

I don't have patience to make jam like Amma.

Just for Valli's microwave event I made in a small amount.

Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients

Fruit Pulp - 1 cup

Sugar - 3/4 - 1 cup

I use 1 apple , 1 banana , 1 cup Raspberries.

Method

• Remove the skin of apple and grate it.
• Cut the banana into thin slices.
• Puree apple and banana in the mixie.
• Grind raspberry separetely and sieve it to remove the seeds.
• Bring together the fruit pulp and sugar in a microwave safe bowl.
• Close the bowl with lid and microwave high for 10 min.
• Mix in between.
• Remove the lid and microwave it again till you get the jam consistency.

Note:

To check the jam consistency, in a small bowl of water pour the jam into it.

You should get the soft ball stage.

If making for larger amount add citric acid and Sodium Benzoate (S. B )in the end.

I did not add color since i got natural color with Raspberries.If you need

add red color to the jam.
