Jackfruit Jam
Ingredients
Jackfruit flakes: 1kg
Cloves: 12
Cinnamon: 6 (1” pieces)
Sugar: one-and-a-half kg
Citric acid: 1tsp
Water: 6 cups
Method:
Remove the seeds from the jackfruit and cut it into small pieces. Cook them in water just enough to immerse the jackfruit pieces, adding the crushed cloves and cinnamon. When the water boils remove the clove and cinnamon pieces from it. Smash the cooked jackfruit or grind it in a mixer and sieve it. Heat water, sugar and citric acid in a vessel. When it boils, add the fruit pulp into it. Stir continuously. When the solution thickens, remove it from the fire and pour it into a prepared bottle. Cool the jam in the bottle and then store it. To test whether the jam is done, cool the jam on a ladle. If it is cool, the jam should fall from the tilted ladle in flakes rather than in drops.
It’s a very popular dish in Konkani cuisine.
