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
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the mangoes by peeling and dicing them into small cubes to measure 4 cups.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced mangoes, freshly grated ginger, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
Step 3
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Step 4
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat and let the marmalade cool slightly.
Step 8
Carefully ladle the warm marmalade into sterilized glass jars, leaving a small space at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
Step 9
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator or processing them in a hot water bath for long-term storage.
