Ingredients:

1. 4 medium ripe mangoes
2. 5 cups sugar
3. 1/2 cup lemon juice

Instructions:

Prepare the Mangoes:

• Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the pits. Chop the mango flesh into small pieces.

Cooking the Jam:

• In a large pot, combine the chopped mangoes, sugar, and lemon juice.
• Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Cooking Process:

• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.

Simmering:

• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam should thicken and reduce slightly. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the desired thickness of the jam.

Testing for Doneness:

• To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it sets and wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it’s done. If not, continue cooking and testing every few minutes.

Jar and Storage:

• Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
• Transfer the hot jam carefully into clean, sterilized jars.

Cooling and Storing:

• Let the jars cool to room temperature before sealing with lids.
• Store the mango jam in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.

Enjoy:

• Use the sweet mango jam on toast, biscuits, or as a delicious topping for desserts. Enjoy the fruity goodness!
