A familiar fruit at Malaysian markets, star fruit decorates this jam with slices that retain their star shape when cut. Syrup simmered with cinnamon softens the fruit’s tart flavor, creating a sweet spread that can be packed in a lunchbox.
Slice the star fruit thick enough to retain its star shape and remove the seeds.
Mix the sugar, water, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Add the star fruit slices and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring gently, until thickened.
Add the lemon juice and cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from the heat. Fill a jar and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Do not slice the star fruit too thinly, or the star shapes will disappear during cooking and the jam will become a smooth puree.
