SIMPLE JAM
​
Method
Any fruit leathers can be made into jam. Simply cut the leather into small pieces with scissors, then place in a bowl & barely cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for 1 hour.
Place in a blender & mix until smooth. There is no need to add sugar as it will be sweet enough.
One cup of finely chopped leather, barely covered with boiling water makes one cup of jam.
Enjoy on your toast & sandwiches!
