Homemade Mango Jam
Community member
"Mangoes in themselves are the ultimate crowd pleaser/dessert/snack/breakfast all in one. In India, summers begin with raw mangoes rich in electrolytes with tongue tingling sour notes. Then as the monsoons roll in, ripened varieties which can be combinations of tart, sweet, pulpy, stringy (no-no for jam), fruity and mild reach fruition. The ushering showers are even lovingly called 'Mango Showers'.However since the mango season is not as long as our list of variants, TGTJ (TG there's Jam)!"
