- .RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#143 JAM-MANGO-LIME OV "17 Jun 91" 1991
- .RZ "MANGO/LIME JAM"
- Since mangoes are at the height of their season (I'm in N. California), here's
- our favorite jam recipe. Colene managed to find us size 8 mangoes in Oakland's
- produce section for $ 7.25 a case - size 8's are huge, about as big as a Nerf
- football! - You'll usually see sizes 12 and 14 (much smaller) in the grocery
- stores. This original recipe is based on these smaller sized fruits and is a
- cross between a jam and a marmalade.
- .IH "Makes 4 pints"
- .IG "5-6" "ripe mangos"
- (size 12 or 14)
- .IG "5-6" "fresh limes"
- .IG "2 Tbls" "lemon juice" "30 ml"
- .IG "1 package" "'Sure-Jell'"
- or equivalent
- .IG "7 \(12 cups" "granulated sugar" "1.5 kg"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Finely grate the lime rinds, cut limes in half and juice them. We use an
- old fashioned hand grater and electric citrus juicer.
- .SK 2
- Peel and chop mangos, saving juice and pulp (messy but fun). Crush the
- fruit throughly, or run thru food processor with the medium blade. The
- idea is to end up with chunky puree, not mango juice!!
- .SK 3
- Measure
- .AB "4 cups" "900 ml"
- of this puree into a large pan. Add the grated lime rind
- and
- .AB "\(34 cup" "170 ml"
- of the fresh lime juice (add bottled lime juice if necessary).
- Add lemon juice and Sure-Jell, mix very well to dissolve powder.
- .SK 4
- Add all of the sugar, mixing well to dissolve. then bring to a full
- rolling boil over medium high heat. You'll have to stir almost constantly
- to avoid burning. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, and them remove
- from the heat.
- .SK 5
- Stir and skim for 5 minutes, then ladle into hot, sterilized jars. Seal
- and invert the jars for a few minutes to set the lids.
- .SK 6
- Pretty stuff, lots of fruit taste, and very, very good on homemade whole
- wheat bread/toast.
