I had an assortment of fruit, sorely abandoned by the family! I hated to throw them away and they were overripe. Then I hit upon the tedious job of making Mixed Fruit Jam. There is a twist to this jam as it is not wholly sweet! but has a tang and a twinge that makes it interesting!
Here is what I used.....
MIXED FRUIT JAM Ingredients used:
A sandwich bag full of Red Grapes
12 Strawberries
2 large Peaches
2 medium Apples
1 big Banana
4 Cups Sugar
2" piece Ginger (grated and the juice squeezed into a cup)
5-6 Cloves( powdered well)
1 Packet Real Fruit pectin
1 tbsp bottled lemon juice

- Mash all the fruit in the food processor.
- In a large pot, mix the sugar and fruit and boil.
- Keep stirring often and continue boiling the mixture.
- When slightly thickened, add the lemon juice and ginger juice.
- Add the clove powder and continue boiling till thick.
- Once thickened check consistency by putting a little jam on a cold plate.
- After cooling, the jam should be set, not runny.
- Take off fire and put them while still hot into sterilized glass container
