Mango Jam

A smooth, fruity spread made from ripe mango pulp and natural preservatives.

Ingredients

1. 2 1/2 cups mango pulp
2. 250 g sugar
3. 1/4 tsp citric acid
4. 1 tsp pectin

Instructions

1. Cook the mango pulp

   • Combine mango pulp and sugar in a pan.
   • Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens.
   • Test by dropping a little on a plate—if it sets, it’s ready.

   • Mix this solution into the thickened jam thoroughly.

3. Store the jam

   • Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars.
   • Allow it to cool completely.
   • Seal and cork the jars tightly.
