Mango and Passion Fruit Jam


This is a lovely jam which goes well with bread and can be used to bake Mango and Passion Fruit Chiffon Cake.

Ingredients [makes about 2 x 450 gm bottle]
500 gm mango flesh - cut small cubes and mashed
50 gm passion fruit pulp - remove seeds by pressing fruit pulp through sieve.  Can keep seeds to bake chiffon cake
200 gm granulated sugar


  1. Put all ingredients together in a heavy based pot or pan.  Boil over medium heat.
  2. Stir continuously until almost sticky and thick.
  3. Cool a plate in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.  Put a teaspoon of cooked jam on plate.  Leave in freezer for 1-2 minutes to test if jam is ready.  If jam is still watery, continue to cook until slightly thicker.  
  4. When jam is ready, I add about 1/2 tbsp brandy for fragrance.

Note:
This jam can be use to bake Mango and Passion Fruit Chiffon Cake.  Add in the passion fruit seeds when  baking cake.  The seeds will be crispy and crunchy.
