🍯 Tropical Dragon Fruit Jam with Mango, Passion Fruit & Kumquat

🧺 Ingredients

• 2 cups dragon fruit pulp
• 1 cup ripe mango, diced
• ½ cup passion fruit pulp (about 4–5 fruits)
• ¼ cup kumquat slices (seeded, thinly sliced)
• 1½ cups sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (for acidity and preservation)
• Optional: 1 tsp grated ginger or vanilla for depth

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the fruits

   • Scoop out dragon fruit flesh and mash lightly.
   • Peel and dice mango.
   • Cut passion fruits and scoop out pulp.
   • Slice kumquats thinly and remove seeds.

2. Cook the jam

   • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all fruits and sugar.
   • Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
   • Add lemon juice and optional ginger or vanilla.

3. Simmer & thicken

   • Simmer gently for 25–30 minutes, stirring often.
   • Use the wrinkle test: drop a bit on a cold plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
   • If needed, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) to help thicken.

4. Cool & store

   • Let cool slightly, then spoon into sterilized jars.
   • Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.
