After months of anticipation, I was finally able to satiate my craving for mango royale. I have to say, the cake turned out great, with every bite as good as I expected. But since I had a few pieces of mangoes left after the cake, I thought I might as well bottle this luscious fruit to feed my future need. So I made mango jam! As I processed enough only for my personal enjoyment, I didn't sterilize my jars but here is a link to check if you want more information regarding safe canning.

Ingredients
- 2 cups diced mangoes (about 2 large)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Hold the mangoes standing and with a knife, cut from the top down on one side of the pit to separate flesh. Repeat on other side. Using a spoon, scoop flesh and coarsely chop. Scrape flesh from pits, if any. Discard pits.
- In a pot, combine mango, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved.
- Lower heat and cook, mashing with the back of spoon, for about 25 to 35 minutes or until mixture thickens.
- To check for doneness, use the "parting the sea" technique by transferring a teaspoonful onto a small dish and refrigerate for about 1 minute. Run your finger in the middle of jam. If it remains open and does not flow back together, it is ready.
- Transfer mango jam to jars while hot. Allow to cool before sealing completely and store in refrigerator.

What is pectin, an ingredients added in Mango Jam? Do you have recipe of Jack fruit jam?
Lalaine says
Hi Zenaida
Pectin is a plant-based product sold in powder form and is used as gelling/thickening agent in foods especially in jams and jellies. Hope this helps.

I've never tried making my own pineapple jam but I believe so, pectin helps the jam to gel/thicken 🙂
