Mubonde (mubonde fruit jam)

Instructions

1. Wash the fruit thoroughly, then mash it with a fork or roughly blend it with the water.
2. Pass the purée through a sieve to remove the seeds and the toughest fibers.
3. Pour the pulp into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the lemon juice.
4. Add the sugar, stir and bring to a boil over medium heat.
5. Simmer over low heat for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring often, until thick enough to coat a spoon.
6. Pour into sterilized jars, seal and let cool before storing in a cool place.
