Pour in the water and stir to combine, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low and simmer; stirring occasionally, for one to 1-1/2 hours, until mixture reaches a syrup-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Spoon mixture into a food processor. Pulse several times, stirring frequently, until puréed to a thick, chunky consistency. Transfer jam to an airtight container. Cover and keep refrigerated up to 5 days.
