Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized (peeled and diced) Ripe mangoes
• 2 medium-sized (mashed) Ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

1. Peel and dice the mangoes, ensuring to remove the pits, and mash the bananas in a separate bowl until smooth.

Step 2

2. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, mashed bananas, granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, and water.

Step 3

3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture begins to break down, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

4. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 25-30 minutes or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Step 5

5. Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

6. Perform a thickness check by placing a small spoonful of the jam onto a chilled plate. If it holds its shape and doesn't run, it's ready. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes and re-check.

Step 7

7. Once thickened, remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

8. Carefully transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space from the top. Seal tightly with lids.

Step 9

9. Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
