Are you a fan of unique and flavorful jams? If so, you must try making medlar jam at home! This delectable spread, made from the medlar fruit, is both sweet and tangy, making it the perfect addition to your breakfast toast or as a topping for your favorite desserts. In this blog post, we will walk you through a simple and easy-to-follow recipe for making homemade medlar jam that will surely satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of ripe medlar fruits
  • 2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Wash and prepare the medlar fruits: Start by washing the medlar fruits thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems and any blemished parts from the fruits. You can keep the seeds as they will add extra flavor to the jam.

2. Cook the medlar fruits: Place the washed medlar fruits in a large saucepan or pot. Add water and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let the fruits simmer for about 20 minutes or until they become soft and mushy.

3. Strain the cooked fruits: Once the medlar fruits are soft, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the cooked fruits to separate the pulp from the seeds and skin. Press the fruits against the sieve to extract as much pulp as possible.

4. Prepare the jam mixture: Measure the obtained medlar pulp and return it to the saucepan. For every 1 cup of pulp, add 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Cook the jam: Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium-low heat. Slowly bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring continuously to dissolve the sugar. Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the jam thickens to your desired consistency. Remember to stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

6. Test for doneness: To check if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it has reached the desired thickness. If not, continue simmering and test again after a few minutes.

7. Store the jam: Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer the jam to clean, sterilized jars and seal them tightly. For longer shelf life, you can process the jars in a hot water bath.

There you have it – delicious homemade medlar jam! The unique flavor of medlar combined with the sweetness of sugar creates a jam that is truly irresistible. Spread it on your toast, use it as a filling for pastries, or even gift it to your friends and family. Enjoy!
