Keep the Raisins to soak in the rum, a night before you intend to cook the jam.
The next day prepare to clean and cut all the fruits. Remove the Pineapple skin by cutting it all around off, remove the ring core of the pineapple too, because that part seems to be causeing irritation in some peoples throats. I kept the core in the recipe, thats my favourite part of the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into small chunks.
Rinse and cut a slice out of the Papaya. Remove the skin with the black seeds as shown. Cut out the flesh from the skin and dice it.
Rinse and peel the skin of the apple, quarter and remove the core of the fruit. Cut it into small slices.
Peel the tangerine, remove the white strings and cut out the seeds with a fruit scissor.
Half the Grapefruit. With a knife cut out the flesh from the sponge mass all around then cut out the flesh partitons. I usualy help myself with fingers too, except if I have a special Grapefruit spoon. Part the chunks with your fingers into smaller pieces.
Peel the Kiwi, quarter and cut into slices.
Peel the Banana and cut into thin slices.
Quarter the Pomegranat and pick out the red flesh/seeds.
Peel the ginger root and chopp it fine.
Add all the fruits to a Pot and heat it up on a slow flame.
Allow it to heat up a bit and directly add in the sugar and the Raisin Rum mix. Stir well!
Continue to stir (actualy you will have to do that till the jam is ready cooked). The fruits will loose a good amount of liquid after a few minutes of cooking.
Now chopp the pealed lemon zest very finely and add it together with the juice to the pot. Keep on stiring every now and then. It should never stick to the bottom of the pot, attention here!
Once the fruits cooked for over 10 minutes, you can smash them with a potato masher gently.
Cook it on slow heat for 45 minutes and the last minute to a rolling boil.You can test if the jam is ready by dropping hot jam on top of a cold plate from the freezer, if it rins, then its not ready but instead it should be thicker.
Sterilize the jars by boiling them in hot water with the caps. Remove them from the water and directly fill in the jams. Drop some Rum inside the cap, that will help to give your homemade jam a longer life. Seal it well and keep the jars in a dry place, to make sure that no mold grows!
