Pomegranate Jam

Ingredients

Pomegranate: 2 big

Sugar: 1 ½ cups (or as per the sweetness of the fruit)

Lemon Juice: of 1 lemon

Cinnamon: 2” piece.

Method Of Preparation

Peel and remove the membranes and take out only the seeds.

In a pressure cooker add pomegranate seeds and cinnamon and 1 cup water to it.

Wait for 2 whistles and switch off the flame.

When the pressure releases open the lid, Strain it in a strainer (use pasta or rice strainer not the tea strainer) to strain the pulp and remove the seeds out.

Again add the pulp to a wide non stick pan and switch on the flame, add sugar to it. When it boils put in medium flame.

Stir occasionally and when it starts thickening, add lemon juice and start stirring frequently till you get the consistency.  (To check the consistency, take the cold saucer out of the freezer, put a little jam on it, and put it back in to cool for a minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, then it's done.)

Switch off the flame when done.

When cooled, store in an air tight bottle.
