Mango Butter

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 8 cups peeled and chopped ripe mangoes
• 3 cups packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh lime zest
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Recipe

• 1 place mangoes in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. cook, stirring frequently, until mangoes are very soft. (since mangoes are usually very juicy, you needn't add any water unless the mixture starts to stick; then add up to 1/2 cup, a little at a time, as necessary.)
• 2 when the mangoes are cooked, remove from heat; puree in a blender or food processor, working carefully in batches.
• 3 return puree to pan. add sugar, ginger, lime zest, lime juice and cinnamon; mix well.
• 4 bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower heat and cook, stirring frequently, until very thick, about 30 minutes.
• 5 remove from heat; immediately pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. cap and process in a 10-minute boiling water bath.
