Instructions
Preparation
Soak 1 cup dates in hot water for 30 mins.
Wash all fruits in running water thoroughly. Place them on a cutting board and cut into small pieces.
Method
Transfer the chopped fruits to a blender along with soaked dates. Blend everything until smooth.
Transfer the fruit puree to a heavy bottom pan or stock pot.
Cook for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally until it reaches a jam like consistency. Keep the flame low to medium to avoid burning at the bottom.
Switch off the heat. Let it cool down completely and store it in a sterilized glass container.
Notes
Adding orange/lemon juice increase shelf life. Do not skip it.
Make sure your kid is not allergic to any of the fruits before you add it to this mixed fruit jam.
The quantity of the sweetener depends on the sweetness of fruits. Check and adjust before cooking and after pureeing the fruits.
Prepare in small batches and use a clean jar to store the jam.
If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest sterilizing the glass jars in advance.
Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down. After cooling down, if no water gets separated then the correct consistency is good for a jam.
Keep it refrigerated and consume within a couple of weeks. But it stays fresh well for a month if handled/canned properly.
