Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe mangoes
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Peel and pit the mangoes, then chop them into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped mangoes, granulated erythritol, and water.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mangoes have softened and the erythritol has dissolved, about 10-15 minutes.
Once the mangoes are soft, use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the mixture to your desired consistency.
Add the lemon juice to the mango puree and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring that the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to combine.
Let the jam cool to room temperature, during which the chia seeds will thicken the jam further.
Transfer the mango jam to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set completely.
Store the mango jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
