Homemade Papaya Jam

Directions

1. 1
   Peel off the skin of ripe papaya and chop papaya into small cubes. Grind in a mixer to smooth puree without adding water.
2. 2
   Heat a heavy-bottomed kadai or pan.
3. 3
   Add papaya puree and powdered jaggery.
4. 4
   Mix well everything.
5. 5
   Switch to medium flame and cook without cover for 10-15 mins. Stir frequently to avoid burning at the bottom of kadai. The mixture will start bubbling so maintain a safe distance. Cook till you get a thick jam-like consistency.
6. 6
   When you take a tsp of jam and spread it on the plate, it should not run like water. That's the correct stage. Switch off the flame and sprinkle lemon juice. Stir well and let it cool down completely.
