Aloe Vera Jam

A kiss, a drop of forever in the river of time.

Homemade Aloe Vera Jam

Homemade aloe vera jam transforms aloe gel into gentle sweetness. First, you scoop fresh aloe gel, keeping only the clear part. Then, you simmer it with sugar, orange juice, and lemon for brightness. Next, stir until the gel thickens into silky jam. Finally, jar it while warm. The result is soothing, lightly flavored, and refreshingly smooth.

Ingredients
● 500 g aloe vera
● 450 g sugar
● 450 g orange or mandarin juice
● juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions
Wash the aloe vera leaves very well, and using a sharp knife, remove the outside peel.
Put the aloe vera gel in the blender and puree.
In a pot, put the orange juice, the sugar, lemon juice and the aloe vera gel we pureed in the blender.
Boil all together until the jam has thickened, about 25-30 minutes.
To see if the jam has the desired consistency, put some on a saucer and allow to cool.
Once it has cooled tilt the plate slightly and if it is not runny, the jam is ready.
When the jam is ready, remove from the heat and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Store in glass sterilized jars.
