Description

A simple homemade mango ginger jam recipe full of fresh summer flavors and ingredients (no pectin required)! It is a great addition to toasts, smoothies, or oatmeal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 2-3 slices of fresh ginger
  • 1 stick of cinnamon
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 small twig of rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter (I like the soy-free Earth Balance butter)
  • 4 cups fresh mango, diced small
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio*
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice

Instructions

  1. Add water, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, and rosemary to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the water boils, remove from heat and set aside while you chop your mango and prepare your other ingredients.
  2. In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the chopped mangos. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring consistently.
  3. Add the white wine and bring the liquid to a boil. Once it is boiling, cook for about 30 more seconds to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  4. Pour the water and herb mixture through a strainer to remove the ginger, cinnamon, star anise, and rosemary. Add the water to the pan with the mangos and wine.
  5. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and orange juice to the pan. Bring to a boil, and maintain the boil while stirring consistently for about 30-40 minutes until the jam is thick and your desired consistency.
  6. Let the jam completely cool before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying!

Notes

If you don't want to use white wine, simply add 1/2 cup more of water and omit the white wine.

If you prefer a smoother jam, use an immersion blender after step five to get the jam to your desired consistency.

This jam can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 1-2 months!
