Cooking Instructions!
Prepare the starfruit by washing them thoroughly and removing any blemishes.
Slice the starfruit into thin slices, discarding the ends and any seeds.
In a large pot, combine the starfruit slices, sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the starfruit slices are soft and the mixture has thickened.
While the jam is cooking, prepare the canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water or running them through a dishwasher cycle.
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, carefully ladle it into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Clean the rims of the jars with a damp cloth to ensure a good seal, then place the lids on and tighten the bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them properly. Remove the jars from the water and let them cool completely.
Store the starfruit jam in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within a few weeks.
