- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Peel and pit the mangoes, then roughly chop the flesh.
Step 2
In a blender, puree the mango pieces until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mango puree.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mango puree and water, stirring well.
Step 4
Add the natural fruit pectin to the mango mixture and stir constantly until completely dissolved.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.

Reduce the heat to low, and add fresh lime juice, honey, and pure vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are well dispersed throughout the jelly mixture.
Step 9
Pour the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion.
Step 10
Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly sets completely.
Step 11
Once set, store the mango jelly in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy this heart-healthy treat as a spread or in desserts!
