Homemade Papaya Jam Recipe

Decent jams and preserves are bloody expensive here so I make them. I don’t like to add pectin or preservatives in my jam. I make it with just fruit puree, sugar and a dash of lemon juice. The lemon acts as a preservative and also I don’t make a whole bunch of jam. Read more I always make a small batch of jam and keep it in fridge, it will last me a couple of weeks or even a month. Some of you may have trouble getting papaya this time of year but your local Asian market should have them. I already posted a recipe for Traditional Seville Orange Marmalade and I’ll also post recipes for Banana and Coconut jam. As these are all fresh and not full of rubbish, the flavor is fresh, clean and much better than store bought. See less
