Instructions

Wash the sapodillas, peel them and remove the shiny black seeds.
Roughly mash the flesh with a fork or blend it briefly to a purée.
Pour the purée into a saucepan with the sugar, the cinnamon stick and the lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 30 to 40 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
Remove the cinnamon stick, then pour the still-warm jam into sterilised jars.
Let it cool completely before sealing tightly.
