Mango Jam

Instructions

1. 1

   Make 4 to 5 slits in mangoes and microwave on High until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool, then remove the peel and inner seed; place mango pulp in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the pulp well.

2. 2

   Stir together sugar and water in a large saucepan over low heat, and bring to a boil. When the mixture begins boiling, increase heat to medium-high. Continue boiling until fine, soft threads form, 270 degrees F (135 degrees C). Stir in mango pulp, add saffron threads, and boil until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour cooked jam into sterilized jars and seal according to canning directions.
