Directions
Sterilize glass jars and their lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Remove them from the water and let them air dry.
Cut the apples into quarters. Remove the firm part with the seeds.
Cut the apples in small pieces.
Remove the white part between the skin and the flesh to avoid bitterness of the oranges.
Cut the oranges into small pieces and remove the seeds and all additional white parts.
Remove the stems from the strawberries.
Cut the plums in half and remove the pits.
Peel the pineapples. Remove the woody part in the center.
Cut the strawberries, the plums, the grapes the bananas and the pineapples into small pieces.
Taste the fruits. If it's not very sweet, you can add more sugar.
Let marinate for 3 hours.
Take a third of the peel of the oranges and cut it into small pieces.
Boil them in a saucepan with water to cover the orange peels. Stir regularly. Cook until the orange peels are tender and the excess water has evaporated.
Add the water, the orange peels, all the marinated fruits and boil on low heat and stir well until the sugar has dissolved.
Cover and let simmer for 25 minutes and stir regularly. Be careful not to let the jam burn. Add a little water if necessary. Cooking time may vary depending on the amount of fruit added and its firmness.
Remove the foam that forms on the surface at the end of cooking or regularly.
Optionally add the agar agar and cook for another 5 minutes. This ingredient helps the jam to solidify.
Check the cooking by pouring a few drops onto a cold plate and then tilting the plate. If the drop sets slightly, the jam is ready. If not, continue cooking for a few minutes, keeping a close eye on it.
Remove from the heat.
Eventually take a potato masher and gently mash the fruit (or with a hand mixer). Until you desired consistency.
Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Pour the jam into the prepared sterilised jars, leaving a 6mm headspace. Clean the rims and place the lids on the jars. Turn them over and let them cool completely at room temperature.
