    How do I make my dragon fruit jam set?

    I 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.
  • Question
    How long will it last in the refrigerator?
    Community Answer
    It should last about five days. After that, it will lose its flavor and, ultimately, go bad.
  • Question
    Can I can dragon fruit jam in a pressure canner?
    Community Answer
    Yes, 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.
