MANGO JAM | MANGO JAM RECIPE

HOME MADE JAM WITHOUT PRESERVATIVE

Mango season is in full swing here. When it comes to mangoes, i love to eat it as it is even without cutting the mangoes. Yes just wash it and eat it full. So making recipes with mango is rare thing in my kitchen. To say it precise when i am saturated with eating mangoes i will make desserts with it. But this will never happen. I forcefully stop eating and make recipes for blog . One such recipe is Mango Jam, without any preservatives like pectin. This mango jam is a simple and easy recipe which you can try with simple 3 ingredients available at home in just 15 minutes. This mango jam turned out very well, and since i used the Alphonso Mango the color is dark. If use other variety colour will change.

INGREDIENTS: MAKES 1 CUP JAM

MANGO (SMALL SIZE)	2
SUGAR	1/4 CUP
LEMON JUICE	1 TBLSP
LEMON ZEST	1/2 TSP

METHOD:

• Wash and peel the skin of the mangoes and chop it finely.
• In a pan, add the finely chopped mangoes, sugar and lemon juice. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.
• This will help the mango to bring out its flavour nicely.
• No need to add water.

• Just switch on the flame and let it cook in a medium  low flame. Stir it . Add lemon zest too.
• Be careful not to burn it.
• It will slowly get cooked and turn into a glossy texture.

• When it reaches a semi solid consistency switch off the flame.
• Allow this to cool completely.

• Store this in a clean dry bottle or container.
• always use clean spoon or knife to spread the jam.

Note:

1. You can replace mangoes with strawberry too.
2. I added 1/4 cup of sugar as the mangoes were too sweet. Adjust the sweetness according to the variety of mango you use.
3. You can puree the mango and make jam to get a smooth consistency.

Spring rolls are an easy to make starter, which can be made in advance too and kept frozen. When kids ask for quick snacks or when you have unexpected guests Spring rolls are  more easier and handy one. The filling for spring rolls purely depends on your choice. I made a simple vegetable stir fry filling for my spring roll and i wanted to make a video of making folding Spring rolls , so i have put a video too. the quality may be little poor as it was taken from my phone. I got the readymade Spring roll sheets(small one) from the local Fairprice Shop. Do check out the wrap for with egg and without egg sheets.

SPRING ROLL SHEETS	4-5
CABBAGE (SHREDDED)	3 TBLSP

• If adding soya sauce, add at this stage. Saute for 2 minutes in high flame. Let the vegetables be crunchy. Do not over cook.
• Allow this to cool.
• Take a clean damp cloth ( i used kitchen tissue) and cover it to avoid the sheets from drying. Carefully take out one sheet.
• Place little filling on the one edge of the sheet.

• Roll this  till half of the sheet. Fold the sides and bring it to the center.

• apply little water on the edges and roll it tightly. If you feel it is not sealed properly, you can use corn flour paste. apply on the edges.
