Ingredients

• 2 cups ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon powdered pectin (optional for thicker jam)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced mango, granulated sugar, water, and lime juice.

Step 2

2. Turn the heat to medium and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

4. After 10 minutes of simmering, use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently mash the mango pieces for a chunkier jam, or blend with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.

Step 5

5. Stir in the lime zest and optional powdered pectin (if desired). Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until it thickens to your preferred consistency.

Step 6

6. To check the consistency, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate. If it holds its shape and doesn't run, it's ready.

Step 7

7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature.

Step 8

8. Transfer the jam into clean glass jars or containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Step 9

9. Allow the jam to chill for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
