Raw Mango Marmalade


Summer is the best time to enjoy Mango and there are enormous ways to make Mango do Tango.
One of the easy and kids most favorite delicacy is Murrabba or Marmalade.
you can use it as jam on bread or on top of Paratha.
This is my son's favorite and it will be a favorite of yours also.

Ingredients:
One Raw Mango (firm)
Cinnamon Stick: one
Cardamom Pods: 2-3
Cloves: 5-6
Saffron Threads: 8-10

For Sugar Syrup:
Sugar: 2cups approx
Water 1 1/2 cup

Procedure: For Sugar Syrup mix water and Sugar together and boil until you get a single thread consistency.One way to see if the syrup is ready is take a drop of syrup and between your fingers and see if it pulls like a thread.
Once the sugar Syrup starts getting thick, you can put Cinnamon Stick, Saffron,Cardamom(peel the cardamom and use the seeds),cloves.
Meanwhile peel the raw Mango and grate it. Put a pot of water on the stove to boil, there should be enough water ;that the grated mango gets submerged. Boil for 5-7 mins on high.
Strain the mango and put it in sugar syrup.
Mix well, you can adjust the amount of sugar,now is the time to add sugar,if you think it needs more.
Pour into clean glass bottles and refrigerate it.
