Homemade Mango Jam

Homemade Mango Jam

Recipe adapted from Cuisine Paradise

Ingredient

• 3 medium size ripe mango, approx 2 cups of cut fruits

• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 lemon rind

Method

1. Peel and cut the mango into small cubes and combine all the ingredients in a heavy duty saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring in between.
2. The sugar will melt and the fruit will break down within 5 - 7 minutes.
3. At first, the mixture will be soggy and watery but after another 5 minutes or so, it will bind together into solid and smooth texture.(the whole process takes about 15 - 20 minutes, remember to stir in between to prevent it getting burnt)
4. Turn off the heat and pour mixture into sterilized warm jar immediately. Seal tightly & let it cool completely.
