1st recipie

ok number 1 of the jam recipies here it is:Banana & Passion Fruit Jam Ingredients:(yields about 300ml of jam)250g riped bananas (without skin), finely mashed50g passion fruit pulp (pulps from about 2 fruits)230g granulated sugar*Method:
Place finely mashed bananas, passion fruit pulp and sugar in a pot or a large saucepan. Mix well.
On medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula or a wooden spoon, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil (where the bubbles do not stop or lessen when you stir it). Once the mixture starts to boil, skim away any excessive foams or bubbles, stirring constantly all the time.
Keep at a rolling boil for another 2 ~ 3 mins, stirring constantly till the mixture thickens, becomes clearer and transparent (no more foams).
Remove from heat. The jam will be a little runny when hot but the consistency will be just right after it has cool off.
Ladle hot jam into hot sterilised jars leaving a gap of about 1~2cm from the top. (Since I do not have an appropriate ladle or funnel, I poured the jam into my measuring cup before filling the jars. The sprout on the cup helps easy and clean filling.) Secure lids. Let cool. Unopened jam will keep up to 3 months if stored in fridge or in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, store in fridge and best consumed within a week**.Recipe source: adapted from 鲜美果酱轻松做! by Romi Igarashi Note: *Do not reduce the sugar, as the amount is required to preserve the jam.**According to the original recipe book, once opened, store the jam in fridge and best consumed withint 1 week. I didn't have any problem with my homemade jam after 3~4 weeks. However, for safe eating practices, do examine the jam frequently for signs of spoilage. i got this imformaton from this site:http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/ enjoy
