Sweet Amla Jam Recipe

In winter season, Amla is largely available in the market. Amla is high in Vitamin C and Iron, which is very much essential for our body. As Amla is bitter in taste, many people do not prefer eating it, specially kids. If you make jam, instead of taking raw, kids can enjoy it with breads, parathas, rice etc. Sweet Amla Jam Recipe is very simple easy to make and requires very less ingredients. 


SWEET AMLA JAM RECIPE



Ingredients:

Amla (Indian Gooseberry) - 500 gms
Sugar - 500 gms
Green Cardamom powder - 1/4 th tbsp
Cinnamon powder - 1/8 th tbsp
Salt - a pinch

Preparation:

First you need to put the amla in a bowl and add only 1 cup of water. and boil them for 12 to 15 minutes. Don't add much water.





Check to see if the amla has become soft by pressing with your fingers. Once it becomes soft, take out the amlas and put them in a separate bowl. 

Let it cool down and remove the seeds either using your hands or a knife.

Put the flesh of the amlas in a blender to make a thick paste. Don't add water.

Turn on the gas. Put the amla paste in a pan made of steel. Add sugar slowly and mix with the paste. Stir continuously.





Now cook the mixture until it becomes thick. Do stir at regular intervals to avoid jam from sticking at the bottom.

Keep cooking the jam till it becomes thick and changes the colour. To check the thickness, put one drop in a bowl and now place it between your fingers, press it, if you feel sticky, that means it is done.

Finally add green cardamom powder, cinnamon powder and very little salt. Mix them well. 

Remove the Sweet Amla Jam from the pan and keep it in a bowl, allow it to cool down.

When the jam becomes cool completely, keep it in a glass container and can store upto 5 to 6 months.
