Mixed Fruit Jam – How to Make a Delicious Mixed Fruit Jam

Mixed fruit jam is a delightful treat enjoyed by both children and adults. While we are used to making jam with a single type of fruit, such as strawberry or fig jam, this time, we’ll be making it with a variety of fruits in one go. Follow this unique recipe from Arabic Cook.

Ingredients Needed for Mixed Fruit Jam:

Mixed Fruit Jam

  • 1 mango
  • 5 peaches
  • 10 apricots
  • 10 fresh strawberries
  • 1 kg granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon pectin

How to Prepare Mixed Fruit Jam:

  1. Prepare the Fruits: Begin by washing all the fruits thoroughly. Peel the mango and cut it into small pieces, placing them in a large pot. Cut the peaches, apricots, and strawberries into small pieces as well, and add them to the same pot.

  2. Add the Sugar and Lemon Juice: Add the granulated sugar and stir everything together. Squeeze the juice of one lemon (or use ½ teaspoon of citric acid powder as a substitute). Mix well and let the mixture sit for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 5 hours, stirring occasionally.

  3. Cook the Jam: Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and stir continuously. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and keep stirring to avoid burning. Do not use high heat, as the jam needs to simmer gently.

  4. Add Flavor and Thickening Agents: After boiling for a while, add the vanilla extract and pectin to the mixture. Continue stirring and cooking until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.

  5. Cool and Store: Once the jam has thickened, remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Prepare sterilized glass jars for storage. Pour the jam into the jars, seal them tightly, and let them cool completely.

    (To sterilize the jars, either boil them in water or place them in the oven at high heat. This will help preserve the jam for a longer period.)

  6. Enjoy the Jam: Now, your mixed fruit jam is ready to be enjoyed! You can spread it on toast, use it as a topping for biscuits, or even as a decoration for cheesecake.

This jam will surely be loved by your children. It’s a sweet and flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Enjoy your homemade jam in good health and happiness!
