Notes
- Choose less sour firm mangoes . I use totapuri / rajapuri variety mangoes .
- Don't overcook the jam . It will harden .
- For flavoring i have added cinnamon and cloves. You can use something else too or omit.Instead you can use cardamom or roasted cumin powder .
- If made well,stored well and used with clean hands , this homemade jam remains fresh for many months even at room temperature.
