Cooking!

I had an exciting day! I made jam for the first time. Deliscious, scrumptious Mango Jam. It is such an easy recipe I don't think we will ever have to buy jam again.

Mango Jam Recipe

3 mangos
1 C water
1 ½ C sugar
1 Tbs vinegar
pinch salt

Peel and cut mangos into 1/2 inch pieces. Put in blender with water Bring to a boil on medium high. Then reduce heat to medium and boil slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

Reduce heat to med-low and simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.

Move pot from stove and set aside to cool.
Transfer into boiled jars.

This recipe makes about 12 ounces.
Of course you can increase the amount if you need to.
