Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 600 g peel, finely sliced
- 200ml juice and pulp of the fruit
- 300 g sugar
- Star anise, 4
- Clove 4
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Allow fruit, peel, and sugar to stand overnight.
- Place the pot on the stove on the lowest setting and allow the sugar to liquefy.
- Stir well and turn up the heat to a medium setting.
- Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer until about half the liquid has evaporated.
- Turn off the heat and decant into sterilized jars.
- I like to add a cap full of brandy to the surface of the jam before sealing. This acts as a disinfectant and preservative.
- Allow cooling and label.
- Enjoy with toast and cottage cheese.
