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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, combine the diced mangoes, granulated sugar, red chilies, grated ginger, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
Once the mixture starts to bubble, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1 cm of headspace. Seal tightly with sterilized lids.
Step 8
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.
