Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Prepare the mangoes by peeling and dicing them into small cubes to measure 4 cups.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced mangoes, freshly grated ginger, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the mixture for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The marmalade should thicken and develop a glossy texture.
To test if the marmalade is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If it holds its shape and wrinkles slightly when pushed, it’s done. If not, cook for a few minutes longer and test again.
Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat and let the marmalade cool slightly.
Carefully ladle the warm marmalade into sterilized glass jars, leaving a small space at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator or processing them in a hot water bath for long-term storage.
