Here it is my strawberry Passion Fruit Jam recipe! This delightful combination of luscious strawberries and tangy passion fruit will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.

In this post, I’ll share an easy-to-follow recipe for this delectable jam. You’re welcome!

The combination of ripe, juicy strawberries and the tropical essence of passion fruit creates a jam that is both vibrant and delicious. Here are some key features and tips to enhance your jam-making experience:

Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, ripe strawberries to ensure the best flavor. Look for passion fruits that are wrinkled, indicating ripeness. Using high-quality ingredients will significantly impact the taste of your final jam.
Consistency and Texture: Cooking the jam until it thickens to the desired consistency is crucial. The jam should be thick enough to spread easily but not overly gelatinous. Regular stirring and occasional testing will help you achieve the perfect texture.
Sterilization and Preservation: Properly sterilizing the jars before filling them with jam is essential for long-lasting freshness. The water bath canning process ensures the jars are sealed tightly and free from any contaminants. This step is vital for preserving the jam and extending its shelf life.
Versatile Culinary Delight: While this jam is delightful on a simple slice of toast, don’t limit its use to breakfast alone. Explore the culinary possibilities by using it as a filling for pastries, a topping for pancakes or waffles, or a glaze for roasted meats. The tropical twist will elevate any dish.
Customization: Feel free to add your own personal touch to the recipe. For example, you can experiment with adding a hint of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavors further. Remember to adjust the quantities accordingly and taste as you go.

How to make a Strawberry Passion Fruit Jam Recipe

Put a saucer into the freezer. This will help to check the jam’s perfect texture.
Bring a medium saucepan at medium heat. Add all ingredients and bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. When stirring, press the strawberries with the spoon.
To check the perfect texture of jam, take 1 teaspoon of jam and add to the edge of the saucer and tilt it slightly. The jam should trickle slowly like a gel. If too fast, cook for a few minutes more and test it again. The saucer must be cold for the trick to work.
Serve, or transfer the jam to a clean, dried airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.
