Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams (peeled and diced) Ripe mangoes
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 whole (finely chopped) Red chilies
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Peel, pit, and dice the mangoes until you have 500 grams of fruit. Finely chop the red chilies, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the diced mangoes, granulated sugar, red chilies, grated ginger, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.
Place the pot over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to break down the mango chunks into a smoother consistency, leaving a few small pieces for texture if desired.
Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes or until the jam thickens. To test for doneness, place a small spoonful of the jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, the jam is ready.
Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1 cm of headspace. Seal tightly with sterilized lids.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks or processing in a water bath for long-term storage.
