Baobab Jam
Baobab Jam has a lovely sweet-apricot flavor and is a dinner party talking point when accompanying meat dishes, but can equally be spread thickly on warm toast for breakfast. Don’t be alarmed when it starts out cloudy, it turns a clear orange when done. Just remember to keep stirring as you make it as it can easily stick to the bottom of the pot in the early stages of cooking. We have given a recipe for just one jar, but if you double or triple it you can make more jars for your friends and family.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- ½ cup Baobab Powder
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot mix the sugar and baobab powder with a little water at a time until all the water has been added.
- Bring to the boil and then reduce temperature and let it simmer without stirring for 20 minutes or until it reaches setting point.
- Let the baobab superfruit jam cool in the pot before pouring into sterilized bottles.
Notes
- While the jam is boiling use a metal spoon to remove the white foam that develops on the surface.
- If you are unsure if the jam has reached setting point place a tsp of jam on a cold plate, wait until it cools and feel if it is thick like jam.
- To sterilize bottles, boil the bottles in water for 10 minutes.
