Mango jam is one of my favourite and much loved by family and friends. It’s so simple to make and taste so sweet and delicious with hints of cardamom. It’s like a dose of sunshine in a bottle.
This mango jam can be made with any variety of ripe mangoes. so choose your favourite variety of mango to make jam.
I have tried with Pakistani mangoes now available in Male’ (Maldives). They are big, sweet and perfect for jam. It’s mango season in Australia so Kensington Pride mango is my favourite to use for jams.
So this jam is for all the mango fans out there, go on make some jam and enjoy it with toast, crepes, waffles or my favourite way is to top generously on warm rotis. And of course share it with family and friends, they will surely love it.
