White Jam?

SJAB1958 said:

Hello All,

I have come to this newsgroup with an urgent quest and I hope someone
here can aid me.

I am sure that there is a way to make white jam without deviating
from
the basic definition of what a jam is supposed to be.

A friend of mine (who is in the catering industry) is adamant that it
is impossible to make a white jam.

Can anyone provide me with a white jam recipe please?

I actually wanted a recipe for a white jam, not a source where one can
purchase white grape jam which is actually a little bit different, but
thanks all the same.

Why do you believe it is possible; have you seen such a thing? How white
must it be; pure white, cream, tan, caramel?

Jam is made by boiling fruit and sugar to a thick consistency
(Merriam-Webster definition). Sugar can be had in white, so far, so good.
Add a white fruit juice (name one) and cook to a thick consistency, but not
so long or hot that the sugar begins to caramelize.
Kaya is a Malay jam made with coconut milk, eggs and sugar (with a few
flavorings added) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaya_(jam)
Perhaps you could make a jam of finely shredded coconut, coconut milk and
sugar. Or, a modified Kaya, using only egg whites, not the whole egg. The
trick will be to get the jam-like consistency without caramelization.
One final thought, you could just fake it with marshmallow cream;
marshmallow is made from corn syrup, sugar, albumen (egg white) and gelatin.
Originally, it was made from the root of a plant called the marshmallow;
not quite a fruit, but you could claim training in semantics by Bill
Clinton.
Without the gelatin (above), you would have a nice, spreadable, jam-like
mixture. Of course, adding shredded coconut (botanically a fruit), you'd
have a jam of sorts - essentially, Kaya.

otherwise it is challenge failed.

😉 I was just poking you. In a good-natured way. I think I would go with
coconut jam. Even though it sounds repulsive. It has to be the whitest
thing you could use. Is a coconut actually a fruit or a nut??

I don't have a recipe, but there is such a thing as coconut jam. I ahve a
jar of it, but since the glass is brown and I have yet to open it, I am not
certain of teh color inside.

Anyway, it might be worth a web search for a recipe.

Challenge failed or argument lost? When arguing that something exists it
is always a good strategy to make sure that you know for sure before you
start.

The recipe I found for coconut jam calls for 10 eggs and instructions
indicate that it turns gravy colour as the sugars caramelize.

Coconut is a nut and is thought to be the largest seed in the world.
Well the coco de mer is the largest and it is in the coconut family.

hahaha! I actually thought about this all through Easter dinner, and was
just about to post to the OP, "hey, you lost the bet." There is NO WHITE
FRUIT. Even coconuts are seeds, not fruits, says beans!

Define "white".

In my experience even berries that start out nearly white turn to pale
yellow by the time they become jam. (e.g. cloudberries)

White eggplant. Bananas and plantains.
White mulberry. The latter would probably
make the closest thing to a traditional
jam.

Aren't many fruit also seeds? All the berries, for example?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary "Coconut: the drupaceous fruit
of the coconut palm whose outer fibrous husk yields coir and whose nut
contains thick edible meat and coconut milk"

Ah but there is the position that simply because you havent seen
something, doesnt mean it cannot exist. So should not the person
opposing my position also make sure that they are right in their
rejection of the concept?

Hmmmmm, lets see, lychee, rambutan, white currants, white cranberries,
elder berries, all of those are white and all of those are fruits are
they not?
