RAW MANGO JAM

RAW MANGO JAM

INGREDIENTS 

Raw Mangoes - 3
Sugar - 5 cups
Lemon Juice - 1 Tsp 
Green Food Colour - 2 Pinches

METHOD 

Wash pat dry and remove skin from the raw mangoes
Chop the mangoes into medium size pieces and pressure cook for 2 whistles 
When cool drain water if any and grind the cooked mangoes to a fine Paste
Pass the ground paste through a sieve and add to the strained water and mix well
Measure the paste and add twice the amount of sugar for each cup of the paste
Add the paste to a pan and in medium flame stir continuously along with sugar



When slightly thick add two pinches of food colour of your choice and mix well to combined 

 

Keep stirring until the mixture is thick and reaches jam consistency 


 

Remove pan from stove cool to room temperature and store in a sterilised glass bottle



Notes:

Jam is done when you take some jam in a wooden spatula hold it above the pan and it cascades and falls off the spatula in one thick sheet and not runny 



The number of whistles in the pressure cooker varies with different brands available in the market 
I used 3 medium sized  mangoes and got 2 cups of mango paste
I added 2 1/2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of mango paste.
Adjust sweetness to suit your taste
