How to Make a Jam Using Ghee

Sweet jams from both Eastern and Western cooking traditions are a delicious accompaniment to breads or cakes. Indian jams sometimes add ghee, resulting in a variety of tastes and textures. This recipe is a mixture of exotic and common fruits, as well as exotic sugars and ghee.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Banana
• 1 Mango
• 1 Guava
• 1 Orange
• 1 Apple
• 5 Jackfruit
• 1 cup grapes
• 1 3/4 cups dates
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup jaggery
• 1/2 cup candy sugar
• 1/4 cup ghee

1. Chop the banana, mango, guava, jackfruit, grapes, apple and orange into small, dime-sized chunks. Mix them together in a large bowl.

2. Add the honey, jaggery, candy sugar and ghee to the bowl. Jaggery is a sweetener from the Indian subcontinent that is made from sugar cane or dates.

3. Mix well and place the mixture in a pan over medium heat until the mixture is fully combined. Do not let the mixture boil.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.

5. Serve the jam with bread or cake. The consistency will be runnier than traditional western preserves, similar to a chutney or a relish.
