Ingredients

Serves : 6 serving
  • 1 Cup blueberry pulp


  • 1 Cup sugar


  • 2 Drops tonovin essence


  • Pinch citric acid

Directions

  • To prepare the pulp : In a saucepan add 1/2 cup water and 250gm blueberry.
  • Turn the stove on and keep the saucepan covered, in a low flame.
  • Stir occasionally. The berries will start breaking down and release their juice, when it is cooked.
  • Turn the stove off and allow it to cool.
  • Puree the cooked berries and strain it, so that the seeds and the skin are separated.
  • Take equal quantity of sugar and pulp and heat that in a saucepan for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fruit pulp becomes thick.
  • Turn the stove off and pour the mixture into a glass jar.
  • Spoon or Sheet Test – Dip a cool metal spoon into the boiling jelly mixture and lift the spoon out of the steam so the syrup runs off the side.
  • When the mixture first starts to boil, the drops will be light and syrupy.
  • As the syrup continues to boil, the drops will become heavier and will drop off the spoon two at a time. When the two drops form together and "sheet" off the spoon, the jellying point has been reached.
  • A drop of tonovin essence and a pinch of citric acid can enhance the taste of jam.
  • However I did not use these ingredients as this was prepared for my 2 year old toddler.
