Easy passionfruit skin jam

Passionfruit skin jam is a delightful and unique way to utilize the entire fruit, reducing waste and creating a flavorful spread that’s perfect for toast, desserts, or as a topping for various dishes. This easy recipe transforms passion fruit skins, sugar, and a hint of red wine into a delectable jam that’s sure to impress.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Passion Fruits:
- 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.
2. Cook the Passion Fruit Skins:
- 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.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
4. Cook the Jam:
- 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.
5. Check for Doneness:
- 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.
6. Jar the Jam:
- 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.
7. Cool and Store:
- 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.
