- Let it boil, stir on and off without letting it burn at the bottom. Cook in low medium flame. This is after 10 minutes.
- Try by adding a spoon of the jam to a plate, slant it like this - if it drips down like this it shows you need to cook more.

Notes
- Mango - Choose ripe sweet juicy mangoes. Alphonso works best however you can use other sweet variety mangoes too.
- Sugar - I have only tried with white granulated sugar so not sure whether brown sugar or any other sugar will work for this jam.
- Lemon - I usually add lemon juice only at the last stage once almost the jam consistency is reached.
- Cooking - Cook the jam in low medium flame and keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom. Use a heavy bottomed pan for making jam.
- Flavoring - You can add ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder or few strands saffron while cooking to have a flavored jam of your choice.
