Passion Fruit Jam Recipe With Mango

This passion fruit jam recipe is so easy to make and will leave your taste buds feeling like they are on a tropical island. It is a perfect sweet treat for your favorite breads, cakes, and even as an ice cream topping.

The beauty of making your own jam is the ability to control – and know what the ingredients are. Buying jams from the store can often include unknown ingredients and chemicals that are used for preservation.

When choosing fruits for a jam recipe, it is important to get the healthiest fruit possible. Look for those that are not bruised and if you can, choose organic so you do not have to deal with herbicides or pesticides.

Getting ripe fruit is also important for flavors – but too ripe is not good either, so be sure to choose fruit that is right on the cusp of perfect ripeness so you can get all those amazing flavors.
