- QuestionHow do I make my dragon fruit jam set?
Nixnix GaoCommunity AnswerI don't think you need to do anything to make it set. It says 'Cook over a low and steady heat. Stir frequently. The mixture will begin to thicken as you stir, over a period of about half an hour.' So you don't need to do anything different than what the instructions say. - QuestionHow long will it last in the refrigerator?
Community AnswerIt should last about five days. After that, it will lose its flavor and, ultimately, go bad. - QuestionCan I can dragon fruit jam in a pressure canner?
Community AnswerYes, and it would preserve it better than putting in a regular can too. This is would probably be the best way to can it, but if you do not have a pressure canner at your house, then a mason jar will do.
