With just 3 ingredients you can make a delicious homemade Mango jam. This can be stored for couple of months if it is refrigerated.
Mango Jam is a best side dish for parathas, puri, breads, topping for cakes, custard etc.
The amount of sugar depends upon the mangoes. If mangoes are extremely sweet you can reduce the amount of sweetness. Or if it is slightly sour or less sweet you can add more.
Ingredients:
Mango (ripe mangoes) - 250 gms
Sugar - 100 gms
Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Method:
# Wash and peel the skin from mangoes.
# Make a fine puree.
# In a heavy bottom pan add mango puree, sugar and stir for 5 minutes.
# It will become watery...close with the lid and cook the jam on slow flame.
# Add lemon juice to prevent from crystallization.
# Stir the jam in every 5 minutes.
# It takes 15-20 minutes to prepare this jam.
# Just pour a teaspoon of jam in a plate and check if it is firm...it should not drip.
This is the consistency of jam, switch off the flame and allow it to cool down completely.
Store the jam in an airtight container and refrigerate.
# Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in two batches. Do not over mix. You will get a thick batter.(dropping consistency) If it is very thick can add 2 tablespoons of milk.
