Equipment
- Potato Masher
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Mango
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- Lemon Juice of ½ wedge
- Red chili flakes a pinch optional
Instructions
Instant pot
- Switch on the Instant Pot. Add mango chunks and sugar. Give a nice stir.
- Close the lid and set the timer for 3 minutes.
- Once it is done, let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and mash the mango chunks with a masher.
- Press the sauté button and add the lemon juice. To make it interesting, I added a dash of red chili flakes.
- Stir the jam till it thickens. Once it cools down completely, transfer it to a clean, air-tight container. Always use a dry and clean spoon.
Stovetop Method
- In a wide pan, take ripe mango chunks. Saute for two minutes.
- Then add sugar. The sugar melts and becomes a little watery. Stir it occasionally so it doesn't burn.
- Cook on a medium flame. Mash the chunks with the ladle or potato masher.
- Add the lemon juice and a dash of chili flakes (if using). Cook it till the jam thickens. Switch off.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the mango.
- Always remember to use a fresh, dry spoon.
- Adding red chili flakes is optional, but it gives an interesting punch to the sweetness of the jam.
