HOME MADE JAM WITHOUT PRESERVATIVE
Mango season is in full swing here. When it comes to mangoes, i love to eat it as it is even without cutting the mangoes. Yes just wash it and eat it full
. So making recipes with mango is rare thing in my kitchen. To say it precise when i am saturated with eating mangoes i will make desserts with it. But this will never happen. I forcefully stop eating and make recipes for blog . One such recipe is Mango Jam, without any preservatives like pectin. This mango jam is a simple and easy recipe which you can try with simple 3 ingredients available at home in just 15 minutes. This mango jam turned out very well, and since i used the Alphonso Mango the color is dark. If use other variety colour will change.
INGREDIENTS: MAKES 1 CUP JAM
| MANGO (SMALL SIZE) | 2 |
| SUGAR | 1/4 CUP |
| LEMON JUICE | 1 TBLSP |
| LEMON ZEST | 1/2 TSP |
METHOD:
- Wash and peel the skin of the mangoes and chop it finely.
- In a pan, add the finely chopped mangoes, sugar and lemon juice. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.
- This will help the mango to bring out its flavour nicely.
- No need to add water.
 |
 |
- Just switch on the flame and let it cook in a medium low flame. Stir it . Add lemon zest too.
- Be careful not to burn it.
- It will slowly get cooked and turn into a glossy texture.
 |
 |
- When it reaches a semi solid consistency switch off the flame.
- Allow this to cool completely.
- Store this in a clean dry bottle or container.
- always use clean spoon or knife to spread the jam.
Note:
- You can replace mangoes with strawberry too.
- I added 1/4 cup of sugar as the mangoes were too sweet. Adjust the sweetness according to the variety of mango you use.
- You can puree the mango and make jam to get a smooth consistency.

Thanks, Jeyashri! If anyone is looking to make this jam with more than 2 mangoes, I used 3 cups of mango pulp, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp lemon zest. It turned out great! Thanks for posting this low-sugar version.
actually wt s lemon zest
Hi jeyashri.
I made this very jam with 750 GMs of mango. Just a few changes. Added nutmeg cardomom and cinnamon each 1 tsp. Plus used regular cooker without whistle. This way prevented the spurting. Since no whistle was used, I cud just open cooler ones every 15 min and stir. Its lovely. The lemon zest and lemon really add ZING to jam and gave a real gelatin texture to the jam. Just love it. Hope I can use same procedure for mixed fruit jam. Also I used my food processor to blend the full mango . Thus helped to make a spreadable consistency.
