Melon and Passionfruit Jam
| about 6 granadillas |
1 small jam melon, peeled and chopped |
| 6 cups (1½ kg) sugar |
1/3 cup of lemon juice |
| ½ cup of passionfruit pulp |
|
Combine
the melon with half the sugar in a large bowl and stand overnight.
Combine the Melon mixture, and the
remaining sugar with the juice, in a large saucepan. Stir over a low heat,
without boiling, until all the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil, and boil,
uncovered, without stirring for 30 minutes. Stir in the passionfruit and boil
for a further 5 minutes, or until jam jells when tested. Pour into hot
sterilized jars and seal when cold.
Makes about 6 cups.
