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.
