Description
A delightful mix of sweet mango and spicy chili peppers, perfect for spreading or enhancing various dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe mango, peeled and finely diced
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1–2 red chili peppers (or Fresno peppers), finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
Instructions
- Add diced mango, sugar, chili peppers, lime juice, and lime zest to a large saucepan.
- Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to release the mango juices.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the pectin and continue boiling for 10–15 minutes until thickened and glossy.
- Skim off any foam from the surface.
- Test the jam by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate — it should wrinkle slightly when pushed.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Transfer to clean jars and refrigerate up to 3 weeks, or process for long-term canning.
Notes
Choose ripe mangoes for best flavor. Adjust chili pepper to taste for desired spiciness.
