Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled and diced) ripe mangoes
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling the mangoes and removing the pits. Chop the mango flesh into small, even pieces, aiming for around 4 cups of diced mango.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the diced mango, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and coat the mango pieces.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Once boiling, add the fruit pectin, stirring continuously. Continue to boil the mixture for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 5
Let the jam simmer for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.
Step 6
To test the jam’s consistency, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when nudged with a finger, it's done. If not, continue to simmer for a few more minutes.
Step 7
Turn off the heat, and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch space at the top. Seal the jars with sterilized lids.
Step 8
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature before storing them. The jam can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three months or processed in a hot water bath for longer storage.
