The secret to make delicious coconut jam at home

Coconut jam is a familiar dish that many people love because of its sweet, soft, and greasy taste. However, there are currently many types of coconut jam on the market without guaranteed food hygiene and safety. So, why don’t you try applying the secret to make fragrant coconut jam at home to own a jar of coconut jam that is both delicious and healthy?

Step 1: Preparation of ingredients

Ingredients to be prepared: Coconut meat, Sugar

First, you should peel off the brown shell on the coconut meat to obtain a white and clean piece of coconut meat. Then, cut the coconut meat into medium-thin slices or into your favorite shapes. Remember, do not cut it too thin, otherwise, the coconut jam will lose its greasy taste.

Finally, prepare a bowl of sugar at the ratio of 1kg of coconut to 0.5 – 0.6kg of sugar.

Step 2: Blanch the coconut meat and marinate it in sugar

After cutting the coconut meat into bite-sized pieces, blanch it in boiling water for about 1-3 minutes then take it out to drain.

Then, you marinate the coconut meat with the prepared amount of sugar for about 4 hours. If you are busy, you can marinate for about 2 hours or half an hour. However, marinating for 4 hours will make coconut meat absorb enough sweet taste.

Step 3: Stir the coconut jam

After being marinated, put coconut in a pan and place it on the stove to stir well. Remember to maintain a low heat and stir well until the coconut changes color and the sugar dissolves.

You can squeeze in a few drops of lemon juice to make the sugar more soft and not sticky.

In the process of stirring coconut jam, remember to stir well and gently to avoid breaking or crushing the coconut, leading to bad shape and appearance.

Step 4: Store coconut jam

After completely cooking the coconut jam, let it cool and put it in a sealed jar or sealed bag and store in a cool place.

Above is the simplest way to make the most delicious coconut jam. With just 4 steps, you can make your own dish of coconut jam that is both fragrant and healthy for your family. Try and enjoy it with everyone!
