Tamarind Mango Jam
|
Tamarindus indica or tamarind tree is native to tropical Africa; the tree grows wild throughout the Sudans, Madagascar and most of tropical Africa. The tamarind fruit is very popular in some
regions of Africa and the Caribbean. The pulp is sour and is regularly used
to create a delicious jam.
Yields about 3 half-pint jars
Ingredients
2 large ripe mango
1 teaspoon tamarind paste
4 cups of sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Directions
Sterilize three half-pint jars according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Slice mango and place in a medium size saucepan with tamarind and lemon juice.
Using a potato masher, begin breaking up mango slices until the texture becomes creamy. Simmer 3 minutes on medium-high heat being careful not to burn.
Add the sugar and slowly stir mixture. Add butter to reduce the foam. Boil until mixture is 220F. Do not over boil the mixture or you will make candy.
Use a heatproof measuring cup with a spout or ladle jam through a wide-mouthed funnel, leaving ¼ inch headspace, pour jam into prepared mason jars.
Seal according to canning directions.

Beware of the naked man who offers you clothes is a proverb used to call out hypocrites; people who are single but give advice on how to have a happy marriage, a person who is
