Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh mango
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of salt or ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor depth

Instructions

  • Add the chopped mango to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. Mash mango with a spoon or potato masher.
  • Add the sugar and lemon juice (and salt or vanilla if using). Stir well.
  • Simmer the mixture over low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and jam-like. Jam is done when it holds its shape on a cold spoon or plate.
  • Let jam cool completely. Transfer to a clean jar and store in the fridge.
