Ingredients

  • ½ cup Fresh Mango Pulp (130 grams)
  • ½ cup Sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 tsp Lime Juice

Instructions

  • Slice a medium sized ripe mango and scoop out the pulp
  • Pulse it in a blender so it has smooth texture.
  • Transfer it to a thick bottom pan and turn on the heat.
  • Add the sugar and keep stirring till the jam thickens.
  • Check the doneness by putting a spoonful of jam on a plate to see if it is runny.
  • If it is not runny and looks like jelly, your jam is done. Now add the lime juice and turn off the heat.
  • Let it cool and transfer to a sterilized mason jar. Refrigerate.

Notes

You can make chunky mango jam by adding mango chunks separately to the pan while the jam is cooking. However this will reduce the life of the jam.
You can double the recipe by doubling the weight of the ingredient in grams and not by the cup size.
