Step 9

Continue to simmer and while stirring for 20-30 minutes.

Step 10

After the given time, test the jam with a spoon/spatula, when it is ready, it shouldn't be runny and more on the thicker side and should hold its shape.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the stove and allow to completely cool down before transferring the jam into clean, sterilised jars.

Step 12

Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight for best results as it will thicken even more with time and use accordingly.
