Sample the mix at this time and add sugar as needed, depending upon the sweetness level of the jackfruit).

Continue cooking until the mix resembles a gel like texture. to test for doneness,  drop a bit of the conserve onto the chilled plate and return the plate to the freezer for 5 minutes.
If the conserve ‘wrinkles’ when pushed to one side, Its ready. Spoon out into clean sterilized bottles and refrigerate.
