ALICE'S DRAGON FRUIT & LYCHEE JAM

Steps:

• Chop fruit finely or pulse in a food processor. Add to a large saucepan with the jam sugar.
• Cook over a low heat stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add the knob of butter, increase heat and bring to a full boil (a boil that cannot be stopped when stirred).
• Boil rapidly for 4 minutes only, carefully skimming off any foam from surface during cooking.
• Remove from heat, then test a small amount on a cold plate for set, (the surface of the jam should wrinkle when a spoon is pushed through it). If not set, return to the boil for a further 2 minutes and test again.
• Spoon into hot, sterilised, glass jars and seal. Makes 4 medium jars.
