• Add 1/2 cup water ,close the cooker lid and let it cook for 2 whistles.

• Open the cooker once the steam has gone .
• With a wooden spoon or a masher mash all the fruits ,you can blend it too.
• Take a wide  non stick pan add the cooked fruits ,sugar and cook till it becomes thick
• Once its thick add the squeezed orange ,you may add the juice alone I added the pulp too.

• Cook till it thickens,it will take  about 10-15 minutes
• Take a small mixture on chilled saucer you will see its firm and doesn't slip ,when you push your finger it wrinkles

• This indicates the jam is ready
• Let it cool for 10 minutes then stranger into sterilised glass bottle.
• Let it cool completely only then put the lid 
• Store it in the fridge.

Notes
Jam thickens once cooled so don't overcook  or wait till its very thick  it should just reach jam consistency.
You can use any fruits of your choice adding strawberries blueberries plum a and black grapes gives the jam a lovely colour so do add any of these .
This jam was not over sweet it was just perfect for us if you like jam to be very sweet you can increase the sugar .
The fruits I used were all sweet hence I used less sugar
You may skip orange and add 2 tbsp lime juice instead .
While cooking the fruits with sugar you may find the scum coning up ,discard the scum if any.
