Jamun/Indian Blackberry Chia Jam#SundayFunday

Jamun/Indian Blackberry is summer fruit and love eating it. Wanted to make a jam so made this with chia seeds. A delicious jam. 

Jamun, or Indian blackberry, is highly regarded for its benefits to diabetics, stomach pain, arthritis, certain digestive issues, and diabetes. Improvement in the hemoglobin level of the blood. It contains compounds like jamboline and jambosine that help regulate blood sugar levels.

Method
Soak chia seeds in 4 tablespoons water and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the chia seeds have swollen up.
In a large sauce pan, add the jamun pulp & water. Turn on the flame and let the pulp simmer until it thickens.
Add sugar and mix while it simmers. Use the stick blender and blend. Place it back on the low flame Then add the chia seeds and cook till it thickens. Let this cool.
It will thicken further as it cools. Once it reaches room temperature, pop it in the fridge and serve chilled on slices of bread. Enjoy!!

Jamuntini /Jamun With Gin -Cocktail#FoodieExtravaganza

Jamuntini is Jamun with Gin which is a cocktail with a desi twist.  Jamun or Java Plum /Black Plum is an Indian Blackberry fruit that is purple in color and has a sweet and sour taste. 

When this theme was given by our Host Caroline Williams, for this month's 
Foodie Extravaganza,  this martini drink immediately  came to my mind and decided to make it, since this fruit is available only during this month.  
A twist to the regular cocktails for all those gin drinking ladies and gentlemen, here is a martini with a sweet and sour taste. This does not require any aerated drink. This is a delicious summer drink and it has a awesome color. Serve this Jamuntini for your weekend party and watch your guest relish in the beauty of this rich purple pinkish color.

Ingredients
60 ML London Dry Gin
7 - 8 Jamuns/Indian Blackberry- pitted
15 Ml Lime juice: 10 ml
20 Ml Simple syrup
Salt, Pepper and Chilly powder to rim
Ice to fill shaker


Method 

Muddle the jamuns in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, add the gin, lime juice and sugar syrup. Shake and double strain into a chilled salt rimmed cocktail glass. Serve immediately.
