Fruit Jam

Date: 4 Aug 1993 22:11:07 GMT

I invented this jam recipe last weekend and it turned out pretty good.
It's made from assorted fruit on hand.  I call it 

 RICO SUAVE (rich and sweet)

	6 peaches,chopped 
	1 papaya, chopped 
	1 mango, cut fruit off seed as much as you can
	thinly sliced slivers of lime peel
	3 apricots, chopped
	1 cup orange juice
	1/4 cup lemon juice
	
Cook the fruit for a few minutes until it is soft.  Measure out 5 cups fruit.
(If the above doesn't measure 5 cups fruit cooked, add more or any of the
above, I think I would prefer more peaches or apricots).
	Add 7 1/2 cups sugar, stir to dissolve
	Bring to rolling boil and add 1 pkg Certo, bring to boil and cook
	for 1 minute.
Ladle into sterilized jars.  Yield about 10 half pint jars.
It takes a while to set, probably because of the apricots and peaches..
