Mango jam
Description
This mango jam recipe uses 2 cups of diced mango cooked down with sugar, fresh lime juice, and lime zest. The mixture is brought to a boil and gently simmered for 20 to 30 minutes, concentrating the flavors and thickening the jam. Testing for set is done by placing a small amount on a cold plate.
The jam combines the tropical sweetness of mango with the brightness of lime zest and juice, providing a fresh and tangy note. The texture depends on the mango variety but generally results in a spreadable consistency appropriate for toast or desserts.
Proper canning techniques, including sterilizing jars, are recommended for long-term storage. If planning to use the jam within a week, it may be kept in a clean, refrigerated container without sterilization.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mango around 1 ½ - 2 mangoes, diced
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ lime zest ie from ½ lime
Instructions
- Dice the mango relatively small and put in a small saucepan with the other ingredients. Stir, bring to a boil and allow to simmer around 20-30 minutes until it thickens (you can test a small amount on a cold plate and check if it sets).
- Can and store - use proper canning practices, sterilizing the jar, if you plan to keep for any length of time. If using immediately, you can use a clean but non-sterile jar/closed container and store in the fridge for around a week.
Notes
- Choose ripe mangoes with firm, non-stringy flesh; strain the jam if needed for smoother texture.
- Use ripe but not overripe mangoes to avoid excessive stringiness or off flavors.
- If storing long-term, use sterilized jars and proper canning methods to ensure safety.
- For short-term use, store jam in a clean container refrigerated and consume within about one week.
