Exotic Mango Jam

Ingredients

Pectin

1 package

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Sugar

2 cups

Ripe mangoes

4, peeled, pitted, and diced

Water

2 tablespoons

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mangoes are soft and the sugar has dissolved. This should take about 15 minutes.
3. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the mangoes to your preferred consistency. If you like a chunkier jam, don't mash them too much.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix the pectin with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Ensure it's well mixed and there are no lumps.
5. Stir the pectin slurry into the mango mixture. Mix well to ensure it's evenly distributed.
6. Continue cooking the jam over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes. The jam should thicken and reach your desired consistency.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 10 minutes.
8. Carefully transfer the jam to sterilized jars, and seal them tightly.
9. Let the jam cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
10. Enjoy your homemade Exotic Mango Jam on toast, pancakes, or as a delightful topping for your favorite desserts!
