Let’s make some magic in the kitchen with this easy-peasy mango jam recipe—your taste buds are in for a delightful surprise!
Begin making your mango jam by placing frozen mango chunks in a saucepan over high heat. Stir the mango continuously as it begins to soften and break down. Once the mangoes start to lose their form, reduce the heat and use a masher to achieve your desired consistency. Continue simmering the mashed mango until it has reduced slightly, which will intensify the jam’s flavors.
Next, start the jam process by stirring in lemon juice and chia seeds, adding maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired. Be sure to taste the mixture before sweetening to ensure it suits your preference. Once combined, remove the pan from the heat to allow the jam to cool and thicken further. After cooling, spoon the thickened jam into airtight glass jars and refrigerate to preserve its freshness and delightful tropical flavors.
Absolutely! Mangoes are perfect for jam-making due to their natural sweetness and vibrant flavor. When cooked down, they create a thick, lush texture that’s ideal for spreading. Mangoes are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making them not only delicious but also nutritious. If you’re looking for a fruit that can elevate your jam to the next level, mangoes are the way to go!
