Ingredients

6 Yellow Mangoes (or 3 cups frozen mangoes)
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup (or sweetener choice)
1 Cinnamon Stick (Optional)
10 Whole Cloves (Optional)
1 inch Dried Orange Peel (Optional)

Instructions

Peel the mangoes, then cut as much flesh as possible from the seed and dice.
Add the diced mangoes, maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves and orange peel (if using) to a saucepan over medium heat, then stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then continue to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the mangoes are fully cooked and soft.
Remove from the heat and crush the mangoes with a fork, then return to the heat and cook for another 5 minutes, until thick and fragrant.
Allow to cool completely, then remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange peel (if used). Transfer to a clean, airtight jar and store in the refrigerator.
This jam is perfect on buttered toast or even spread on crackers.
