Jamun/ Java plum jam.

After the juice and raita here comes a jam. An extremely easy to make one which is ready in just an hour. The time taken is in cooling before one can puree the jamun. The sugar content depends totally on the sweetness of the jamun. Just add as per taste. Here, the jamuns were pretty sweet, so I did not have to add much sugar.

Ingredients:

500 gms Jamun

150 gms sugar

Juice of one lemon.

Method:

Wash and dry the jamuns. Pick out the soft ones which are a little over ripe. Drop them into  a pan. Add 250 ml water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and boil for five minutes. Switch off and allow to cool thoroughly. Remove the seeds and tip the pulp into the blender. Blend till smooth. Pour this puree into a non stick pan. Add the sugar and allow to boil covered on a low flame.  Add the lemon juice and keep boiling till a drop of the mixture dropped on a plate does not run. Switch off. Cool thoroughly and bottle. Keep refrigerated .
