5. Jaboticaba

The Brazilian Grape Tree fruit, jaboticaba, makes a very dark purple jam with strong berry taste. During harvest season, these peculiar fruits provide a breathtaking display right on the trunk and branches of the tree. Perfect for producing jam, the fruit’s thick peel has great concentrations of antioxidants and natural pectin. Jaboticaba produces a rich purple preserve with a sophisticated flavor profile combining components of grape, blackberry, and subdued earthiness when processed. The jam-making procedure calls for precise handling to maximize flavor from the pulp and skin while preserving ideal consistency.
