Green Physalis Jam
Description
Perfect for winter pantry stocks. A ripe physalis is revealed by its dried husk. The fruit is compared to a tomato, sometimes to a cranberry, though it is not related to the latter. By the way, physalis jam is not made all that often, so I highly recommend cooking it and surprising your guests. 1. Where do you start when making green physalis jam at home? First, sort through the berries carefully and soak them in water. 2. Next, the berries should be blanched, but before that, prick each one with a needle. 3. Soak the physalis for 4 hours, then drain it in a colander. 4. Meanwhile, make the syrup and boil it for about 10 minutes. 5. Add the berries to the syrup and bring to a boil. 6. Let the jam stand for 4 hours, then repeat this step once more. 7. That is it—now you can pour the jam into jars and seal them. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
