Bottling of mangoes by making mango jam

Ingredients

  • 2cups diced mango around 1 ½ - 2 mangoes
  • ½cup sugar
  • 1tablespoon lime juice
  • ½lime zest 

 

Instructions

  1. Dice the mango relatively small and put in a small saucepan with the other ingredients. Stir, bring to a boil and allow to simmer around 20-30 minutes until it thickens (you can test a small amount on a cold plate and check if it sets).
  2. Bottle and store - use proper bottling practices, sterilizing the bottle, if you plan to keep for any length of time. If using immediately, you can use a clean but non-sterile jar/closed container and store in the fridge for around a week.
