Tangerine, Grapefruit and Coconut Sugar Jam

Mandarins are an absolute fruit of the season! Everything about it reminds us of Christmas.

Today's recipe combines the aromas of Christmas with the slight bitterness of grapefruit and the caramel taste of coconut sugar. And agar-agar helps us reduce the amount of sugar without compromising on thickness!

Ingredients for Mandarin, Grapefruit and Coconut Sugar Jam:

• 1 kg mandarins
• 1 large grapefruit
• ½ cup water
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp agar-agar
  
  How to prepare Mandarin, Grapefruit and Coconut Sugar Jam:
  
  Step 1: Peel the mandarins and grapefruit and place them in a suitably sized pot. Add the water, coconut sugar, and cinnamon.
  
  Step 2: Over medium heat, with the lid on, let the fruits release their juice for about 20 minutes. Then, blend the fruits well with an immersion blender to get an almost homogeneous mixture. Add the agar-agar, stir, and leave for about 30 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to the desired consistency.
  
  Step 3: Transfer to jars and enjoy at any time.
   

  It's also perfect as a gift!
