Tips for Making Dragon Fruit Jam:

  • Choose ripe dragon fruit with vibrant color and no blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dragon fruit into small cubes or scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
  • To extract more juice from the dragon fruit, heat it gently over medium heat until it softens, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Add lemon juice or lime juice to balance the sweetness of the jam and enhance its flavor.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the jam as it cooks. It should reach 220°F (104°C) for a thick, spreadable consistency.
  • Stir the jam constantly while cooking to prevent scorching and ensure even cooking.
  • Remove the jam from heat once it reaches the desired consistency and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
  • Seal the jars tightly and process them in a boiling water bath for at least 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
  • Store the dragon fruit jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
