How long should passion jam be boiled

Baixiang jam generally needs to be boiled for 20-30 minutes, and the specific time is affected by factors such as the moisture content of the fruit pulp, sugar ratio, heat intensity, pot material, and personal taste preferences.

When boiling passion fruit jam, after mixing the fruit pulp with sugar, it should be boiled over medium heat and stirred continuously to prevent sticking to the pot. When the mixture becomes thick and the color darkens, it can be adjusted to low heat and continue boiling until it reaches the desired state. Fresh passion fruit has a high moisture content, and if you prefer jam with strong fluidity, it can be shortened to 15-20 minutes; If you need to extend the storage time or pursue a thicker texture, you can extend it to 35 minutes appropriately, but be aware that excessive boiling may cause flavor loss or burnt taste.

Using a stainless steel pot for uniform thermal conductivity, the required time is relatively stable; However, clay or glass pots may require an extension of 5-8 minutes. Adding lemon juice or pectin to the recipe will accelerate solidification, so the boiling time should be reduced to avoid being too hard. The standard for testing maturity is that after dripping cold water, the sauce can briefly maintain its shape without immediately dispersing, or the thermometer shows a temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. After the production is completed, it is recommended to place it in a sterilized sealed jar while it is hot and invert it to create a vacuum. It can be stored at room temperature for about a month, and after opening, it should be refrigerated and consumed as soon as possible. Passion jam is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. It can supplement antioxidants when paired with yogurt and bread, but its sugar content is high. diabetes patients should control their intake. If you find that the jam is moldy or has a strange smell, you should stop eating it immediately.
