Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized (peeled and diced) Ripe mangoes
- 2 medium-sized (mashed) Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Peel and dice the mangoes, ensuring to remove the pits, and mash the bananas in a separate bowl until smooth.
2. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, mashed bananas, granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, and water.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture begins to break down, about 10 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 25-30 minutes or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
5. Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
6. Perform a thickness check by placing a small spoonful of the jam onto a chilled plate. If it holds its shape and doesn't run, it's ready. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes and re-check.
7. Once thickened, remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
8. Carefully transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space from the top. Seal tightly with lids.
9. Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
