Mango Jam

The ingredients in mango jam typically include:

1. Mangoes: The primary ingredient, providing flavor and sweetness.
2. Sugar: Used to sweeten the jam and aid in preservation.
3. Pectin: A natural thickening agent derived from fruits, used to give the jam its gel-like consistency.
4. Citric Acid: Helps balance the sweetness and acts as a natural preservative.
5. Water: Used in the cooking process to dissolve the sugar and hydrate the ingredients.
6. Optional Ingredients:
   • Lemon Juice: Adds tartness and enhances the flavor.
   • Spices: Such as cinnamon or ginger, for added flavor complexity.
   • Vanilla Extract: Adds a subtle vanilla flavor.

These ingredients are combined and cooked down to create the jam consistency. The proportions may vary depending on the recipe and personal preference. Always check the packaging or recipe for the specific ingredient list and any potential allergens.
