Ingredients
3 lb. poha (ground cherries)
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar per cup cooked poha
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Method
Husk and wash fruit. Combine with water and cook slowly for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let stand overnight.
Measure pulp and juice and combine with an equal quantity of sugar. Return to heat and cook slowly, stirring occasionally for 1 hour.
Add lemon juice and continue slow cooking until product reaches jelly stage.
Immediately pour into hot sterilized glasses and seal. (I froze my jam.)
The picture which is shown directly above the Title Hawaiian Poha Jam is not a picture of a Poha Berry that I am familiar with. It looks more like a Bing Cherry, unless this is a new variety of a Poha Berry. If so please tell me where I may find this particular Poha Berry.
