Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 apple
  • ½ cup frozen cherries or strawberry
  • ½ cup sugar - 3 tablespoon agave syrup
  • ½ cup pineapple juice - any pure juice is good to use
  • 1-2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cardamom pods optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Peel the skins of mangoes and banana and cut them into cubes.
  • Finely chop all the other fruits. If you are using any frozen kind, let them thaw to room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
  • In the inner pot, put the chopped fruits, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup pineapple juice, cardamom pods. Close the lid and set the pressure valve to the sealed position and set the timer for one minute.
  • Release pressure naturally for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT flip the pressure valve.
  • Release the pressure valve carefully and remove the lid.
  • Using a hand blender or a masher, blend/mash the mixed fruits until all the fruits chunks disappear.
  • Turn Instant Pot to 'saute' function and allow the mashed fruits to come to a simmer/boil.
  • In a small bowl combine two tablespoons water with 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Slowly pour this into the fruit mix and stir well. ( if you want to skip the cornstarch, boil another 10 min)
  • Let it simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
  • Turn the instant pot off and allow mixture to cool down.
  • Mixed Fruit Jam is ready! Store it in a dry mason jar and refrigerate!

Notes

  • Jam can be made with Agave syrup or Maple syrup instead of sugar. Replace the sugar with 3 tablespoon of agave syrup and reduce the juice quantity or increase the cornstarch quantity to thicken the jam.
  • Instead of cornstarch, you can add chia seeds to thicken the jam. But my kids do not like the chia seeds in the jam.
  • For this instant pot jam recipe, I used pineapple juice. You can use any kind of fresh juice for your recipe.
