Tropical Jam - Paronella Park - Finally A Recipe

This blog was meant to be incorporating recipes from our travels... remember! Finally, sitting starring at me at Paronella Park gift shop was a bright orange scroll of paper and a sign screaming at me like Vegas saying "Paronella Park Special Jam Recipe". It was exciting, i had no idea what kind of jam the recipe was for until I purchased the scroll.

I haven't had the chance to make this recipe on my travels, jam making wasn't too high on my list. So Please, If you ever try it let me know how it goes. Enjoy!
