Making homemade mango jam is a delightful way to preserve the tropical sweetness of ripe mangoes. Follow this easy recipe to create a smooth, flavorful spread perfect for toast, yogurt, or desserts.
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (for balance)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Steps:
1. Prepare the Mangoes: Peel, pit, and dice the mangoes into small pieces. For a smoother jam, blend them briefly in a food processor.
2. Cook the Base: In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine mangoes, sugar, and lemon juice. Let them sit for 30 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out juices.
3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 20–25 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
4. Add Flavor (Optional): Stir in vanilla extract for extra depth.
5. Preserve: Sterilize jars by boiling them for 5 minutes. Pour the hot jam into the jars, seal tightly, and let cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month or freeze for longer shelf life.
Enjoy your vibrant, homemade mango jam—a taste of summer in every jar!
