Instructions

Prepare the fruit

In a large saucepan, combine the diced mangoes and pineapples.

Pro tip: Ensure the fruit is ripe for optimal flavour.

Add sugar and lemon juice

Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice with the fruits until well combined.

Pro tip: Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your fruits.

Cook the jam

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Pro tip: Prevent sticking by stirring frequently.

Simmer and thicken

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Pro tip: If you prefer a smooth jam, use a blender to puree the mixture.

Test the consistency

To test, place a spoonful of jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it's ready.

Pro tip: If too runny, continue to simmer and retest.

Add vanilla and jar the jam

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.

Pro tip: Ensure jars are sterilized for longer shelf life.
