Ingredients
- 1000 grams ripe tomatoes
- 150 grams passionfruit pulp
- 750 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 100 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling the tomatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Score a small 'X' on the bottom of each tomato, gently lower them into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to the ice bath. Peel off the skins and discard.
Step 2
Chop the peeled tomatoes into small chunks and transfer them to a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
Step 3
Add the passionfruit pulp to the pot along with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 4
Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat so it simmers steadily. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 6
Cook for about 35–45 minutes, or until the jam thickens. To test for doneness, place a small amount onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it is ready.
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the jam into sterilized jars while still hot.
Step 8
Seal the jars tightly, allow them to cool to room temperature, and then store in the refrigerator. The jam will keep for up to 2 months.
