Equipment
- saucepan, stove, jars
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen mango chunks
- 2 tbsp white chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup optional
- juice of half a lemon
Instructions
- In a saucepan. Add the 4 cups of frozen mango chunks. On a high heat stir the mangos until they start to breakdown.
- Reduce the heat and using a masher, mash the mango down as it cooks until your desired consistency (I like large mango pieces for texture)
- Once the mango has cooked down and reduced slightly. Add the lemon juice, chia seeds and maple syrup (if using) id advice tasting the mixture BEFORE adding maple syrup and adding as much or as little as you like**
- Stir for a few minutes then remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool in the pan ** the mixture will continue to thicken as it cools**
- Once cool, add the mixture to airtight glass jars
