Fresh papaya and orange jam

I made this jam in the morning. It was an instant hit with my kids. We do not need to buy and store jam. Just make it in one morning and it gets over by in just 2-3 days of breakfast. Enjoy with your family!


Ingredients:
6 cups (1 kg) papaya
1.5 cup (
275 g) sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
1/2 cup orange/grapefruit/lemon juice (optional)

Procedure
1. Peel the papaya, remove the seeds and cut it into small pieces.
2. Add sugar to it and mash the papaya pieces well.
3. Add the orange juice
4. Cook the mash on a low heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.
5. Cook until papaya is well cooked and the liquid has reduced.
6. Stir this into the papaya puree and simmer for about 7 minutes.
7. Fill the hot jam in sterilized pots. Close and refrigerate when cool.
