MIXED FRUIT JAM

NEEDED
Apple - 2 - peel skin ,discard seed
Pomegranate- 2
Pine apple - 10 thin round pieces
Papaya - 1 big - peel skin, remove seed
Banana - 6, peel skin
Guava -2( if possible discard the seed ,or the middle portion)
Orange-1, discard the seed

Food colour - red - pinch
Lemon 1 if big
Sugar  ( measure the pulp after grinding , sugar to be added equally ... 1 cup fruit pulp means 1 cup sugar)

METHOD
Finely chop all the fruits .
Take a deep bottom vessel , so that while u pressure cook the fruits the water does no go inside.
Pressure cook the fruits in a cooker, leave 3 - 4 whistle.( Don't add water to the fruits )
(Don't keep direct cooker also )
Then take out the fruit vessel from the cooker and allow it to cool .
Cooked fruit will leave water naturally.
Do not drain the water .
Then grind the fruits to a smooth paste.
Measure the pulp .
( If u measure 3 cups and 3 cups sugar).
Take a thick bottom pan ( or can use  the cooker also without lid ) , add the the pulp and the sugar .
Keep in medium flame.
The sugar will start melting , keep stirring .
Then slowly it will thicken .
Add food colour red . Keep stirring.
When it sticky and little thick ,remove from flame.
Allow it to cool .
Then squeeze a full lemon .
Mix well and keep aside.
Let it cool  completely.
Then store in a tight jar ..and keep inside the fridge.
( I don't use any preservatives.)

Note:
Even a drop of water may spoil the while jam.
