Ingredients of Yusuf Effendi Jam

Thick mandarin juice, approximately two cups

Two cups of sugar or less, as desired (I used honey in this recipe along with the sugar).

one tablespoon of lemon juice

Grated tangerine peel (one teaspoon) to add a distinctive flavor

Note: You can add other flavors you prefer, such as vanilla or cinnamon.

Steps to prepare Yusuf Effendi jam

In a deep, non-stick pot, place the mandarin juice over medium heat and stir.

Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Then add the lemon, as the lemon helps to preserve the color of the jam and acts as a natural preservative.

Next, the mixture is boiled over low heat while stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the sides of the pot. A special spoon can be used for this purpose, which I mentioned in my post titled “73 Kitchen Tools”.

After 15 to 25 minutes, test the consistency of the jam by placing a small amount of the mixture on a cold plate; if it sets, the jam is ready.

How to pack and store Yusuf Efendi jam

It is important to put the jam in clean, sterilized glass jars. After adding the jam, seal the jar tightly and leave it to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.

You can enjoy this jam with bread, pies, tarts, have it with yogurt, or use it in other dessert recipes.
