Mixed Fruit Jam Instant Pot

It is even more so when it is a dish that you have always bought in stores in the past and never tried making on your own. I agree to be sent email.

The homemade jam recipe that I am sharing today is one such recipe. I have tried a few versions of homemade jam, but this is by far the best homemade jam that you can make in Instant Pot. Needless to say, I am a big fan of the Instant Pot and I have tried several dishes with it, but never really thought of using it to prepare the homemade jam. It is really a lot easier than you think. I made pineapple jam, strawberry Jam, and berry Jam, and they turned out very good in the Instant Pot. This recipe is for a mixed fruits version that my kids always crave. The result was just too good to be just reading about. You’ve got to try it today!

Why Should You Prepare Jam With The Instant Pot Pressure Cooker?

A homemade jam recipe takes a longer time to cook on the stovetop. With an Instant Pot, it takes less than 30 min. Another reason to use the Instant Pot is that you use fewer pans to prepare it. That means fewer dishes to wash and less of a mess!

What is good about this homemade jam?

Look at the ingredients in Jam or jelly at any store and you will find the ingredient called “Pectin”. Although it is a natural ingredient, it is added in relatively larger proportions to thicken the jelly. The homemade jam is made without using commercial pectin. Just the amount that is naturally available in berries and apples. Not only that, this homemade jam recipe is made with little sugar. All the sweetness is from the fruits and little sugar. You could also prepare this recipe with agave syrup or no sugar if you pick and choose fruits that are not sour.

Tips

Jam can be made with Agave syrup or Maple syrup instead of sugar. Replace the sugar with 3 tablespoon of agave syrup and reduce the juice quantity or increase the cornstarch quantity to thicken the jam. Instead of cornstarch, you can add chia seeds to thicken the jam. But my kids do not like the chia seeds in the jam. For this instant pot jam recipe, I used pineapple juice. You can use any kind of fresh juice for your recipe.

Storage and life of jam recipe

Homemade Jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three months! Just be sure to store them airtight and that it remains dry. Always use a clean and dry spoon to scoop them.

Mixed fruits that I used In this

There is virtually no limit to the variety of fruits that you can add. I used banana, apple, mango, and frozen cherries for this recipe. I also added a pod of cardamom during the process to add some aroma. If you choose to do it, be sure to take them out before you proceed to mash the fruits.
