- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 cups sugar
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Peel the mangoes and cut them into small pieces. Then, using a potato masher, mash the mangoes to extract their juice, creating a pulpy consistency. 🥭 |
| 2 | In a large saucepan, add the mashed mangoes and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | Next, add the crushed pineapple (including its juice), lime juice, and sugar to the saucepan. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The addition of lime juice adds a zesty kick, balancing the sweetness of the fruits. 🍍 |
| 4 | Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Allow it to boil rapidly for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency. Stirring often ensures that the jam cooks evenly and prevents it from burning. |
| 5 | Once the jam has reached the desired thickness and consistency, remove the saucepan from heat. Be careful as the jam will be very hot. |
| 6 | Carefully ladle the hot jam into small sterilized jars, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion during storage. Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids to maintain freshness. |
| 7 | Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature before storing them in a cool, dark place. Properly sealed and stored, this homemade Mango and Pineapple Jam can be enjoyed for several weeks. |
Tips:
- For a smoother jam, you can puree the mangoes instead of mashing them, using a blender or food processor.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference and the sweetness of the fruits. You can reduce the sugar for a less sweet jam or increase it for a sweeter taste.
- Ensure that the jars and lids are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before filling them with jam to prevent any contamination and prolong the shelf life of the jam.
- This jam can be served on toast, pancakes, waffles, or even as a topping for yogurt or ice cream. Get creative with how you enjoy this tropical treat! 🌴🌞
