4. Tea Time Elegance 🫖: This pastry is perfect for a fancy afternoon tea. Serve it with a pot of Earl Grey or a refreshing mint tea for a sophisticated touch.
Equipment
Ensure it's heavy-bottomed to prevent burning. A non-stick surface can be particularly helpful.
Use a medium-sized bowl to dissolve the cornstarch in water without making a mess.
High-heat resistant silicone spatulas are great for stirring and scraping down the sides of your saucepan.
Accurate measurements are key to getting the balance of flavors just right.
Variations
Gluten-Free Version 🌱: Use cornstarch that's certified gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so you're all set!
Vegan Version 🌈: The original recipe is inherently vegan since it doesn’t call for any animal products. ✅
Feel free to adjust the sweetness or tartness of the jam according to your personal preferences. Happy baking! 🧁
Faq
- What if I don't have mango and passionfruit purees?
You can use fresh fruits. Simply blend and strain them to achieve a smooth puree.
- Can I use another type of sugar?
Yes, you can use alternatives like coconut sugar or even a sweetener like stevia, but you may need to adjust the amount to taste.
- How do I prevent lumps when adding cornstarch?
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in cold water before adding it to the hot fruit mixture. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
- Can I store the jam for later use?
Yes, you can store the jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Will the jam set to a firm consistency?

- How can I make the jam brighter in color?
A few drops of natural food coloring can enhance the visual appeal, but it's entirely optional!
