Jackfruit jam

Ingredients

Jackfruit flakes: 1Kg

Clove: 12

Cinnamon: 6(1 inch pieces)

Sugar: one-and-a-half kg

Citric acid: 1 tsp

Water: 6 cups

Method

Deseed the jackfruit and cut it into small pieces. Cook in water just enough to dip the pieces, adding crushed clove and cinnamon. When the water boils, remove the clove and cinnamon pieces from it. Smash the cooked jackfruit or grind in a mixer and sieve. Heat water, sugar and citric acid in a vessel. When it boils add the fruit pulp to it. Stir continuously. When the solution thickens, remove it from fire and pour it into a prepared bottle. Cool the jam in the bottle and then store. To test whether the jam is done, cool the jam on a ladle. When cool, the jam should fall from the tilted ladle in flakes rather than in drops.
