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
- 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.
- In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the chopped mangos. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring consistently.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
