This easy recipe transforms passion fruit skins, sugar, and a hint of red wine into a delectable jam that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the passion fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues from the skin.
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds; set them aside.
- Peel the outer skin of the passion fruits, then finely chop the remaining white pithy layer.
- Place the chopped passion fruit skins in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Add enough water to cover the skins and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the skins have softened. Drain and discard the water.
- Return the softened passion fruit skins to the saucepan.
- Add the reserved passionfruit pulp and seeds to the saucepan.
- Pour in the 2 cups of sugar and the 1/2 cup of red wine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
- To check if the jam is ready, drop a small spoonful onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles and holds its shape when you push it with your finger, the jam is done. If not, continue to cook for a few more minutes and test again.
- Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
- Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth and seal with sterilized lids.
- Let the jars cool to room temperature.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and consume within a few weeks.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash the passion fruits thoroughly before using them to ensure any dirt or contaminants are removed.
- Cut the passion fruits carefully and scoop out the pulp, setting it aside for another use or to add back into the jam if desired.
- When boiling the mixture, keep an eye on the consistency. The jam will thicken further as it cools, so don’t overcook.
- Sterilize your jars before filling them with the jam to extend its shelf life. To sterilize, boil the jars and lids in water for at least 10 minutes.
- If you prefer a smoother jam, blend the cooked mixture before the final boil.
Making passionfruit skin jam is a resourceful and delicious way to make the most out of every part of the fruit. With a combination of passion fruit skins, sugar, and red wine, this jam not only captures a unique flavor but also offers a wonderful homemade touch to your pantry. Enjoy your creation on toast, as a dessert topping, or even as a unique gift for friends and family.
