Notes

• Some raw mangoes are fibrous, after boiling if you find fibres then strain it to get the pulp alone.
• Boiling the raw mango pulp wih sugar increases the shelf life .
• You can use jaggerry instead of sugar .
• The preserve should be concentrated / strong in taste as it has to be diluted later .
• Use a clean spoon when ever you are handling the preserve.This increases the shelf life.,
