Asian Christmas Jam
Pane-Bistecca
People also like fine jam at Christmas and when it’s homemade, it’s even better! This Asian Christmas jam is made with fruit that is readily available and affordable here in Asia. That’s why I used mangoes and oranges, a type of orange that was dark, almost grapefruit-like, but not bitter. The result was a bright orange, very fine jam. I filled them into jars and labeled them, as they will be given away as a table gift at a Christmas lunch.
Christmas can come!
