Preparation

To prepare this marmalade select each ingredient trying to be good quality raw
materials, also wash the passion fruit and lemons , and clean chia to begin the process.
Then we cut the passion fruit half to boil them in a pot with 500 milliliters of water for 40
minutes. Meanwhile chia is placed in another pot with 250 milliliters of hot to boil until
the seed eject a water gel .
While that process is complete we proceeded to peel the lemons so cut them in half and
extract the juice .
Then when the passion fruit is already cooked it takes blender using the water left in the
cooking of it and the whole fruit pectin to take advantage of it. This process ends when
forms a paste that is not too soft or too thick to weigh later.
Then we strain to obtain chia seeds only removing excess water to obtain the exact
weight of this .
Now, we add the weights of each ingredient to obtain the amount of sugar used.
we continue to mix the ingredients by a heat treatment which ensures that the finished
product is homogeneous and achieved the right texture . During this process should be
measured brix refractometer so you know when it is time to remove the product from
the fire.

Important
notes

Note that the brix suitable for a jam are 65 .

As we prepare marmalade we put sterilize containers so that they are free of
microorganisms and do not contaminate the finished product , ie we must place the
containers with their lids in a pot with water , to the extent that the cover completely ,
then They will be removed until the water boils.
* You must remember that when you remove the containers you must do it with
tweezers , put out first placing them tapas face up and then affix the bottle over and
upside down to avoid contact with the external air, the steam or hot air these contain
enables them to avoid cross-contamination .
After we have done these two processes we continue to be packaged, fill the container
with the finished product with a tolerance of +/- 5 cm , instantly be filled to place the lid
closed and then be placed upside down to achieve vacuum sealing , to avoid a
proliferation of fungi and / or yeasts that contaminate the product and cause injury to
the consumer.
* To package a jam should make it hot to achieve the desired vacuum , because the heat
allows the lid seal vacuum , ie does not allow air to enter the container and because it is
formed CO2 within it which is considered as a way of preserving food .
