Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and let them sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, slowly cook mixture. Smash mangos as they soften.
- Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until mixture becomes jelly-like. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Transfer jam to a resealable container.
- Jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.
Notes
- Leave about an inch of space when filling a jar with warm or hot jam. This space allows room for expansion during storage in the refrigerator or freezer
- Use ripe mangos for the best results. They should be slightly soft yet firm to the touch and fragrant as they will soften further during cooking and provide the most flavor. If they are too ripe, they may not hold their shape in the jam as they cook.
- Smash mangos as they soften for a smoother jam texture but don’t completely mash them if you prefer larger chunks of fruit in your finished product.
- Taste test your jam while cooking. This way you can adjust the sweetness levels to your tastes. Plus, adding an extra tablespoon of sugar helps thicken the consistency too!
- Be careful not to overcook your jam. You want it thickened (jelly-like) and set after 12-15 minutes on low heat. Watch it while it cooks so you don’t burn it, and remember it will thicken more as it cools!
