MANGO MARMALADE

Mango Marmalade is the best! It is so yummy with some toast or just by itself. A perfect flavor explosion in the mouth or tangy, sweet, salty and a touch of spicy. I love mangoes to being with and then a marmalade... heaven!



INGREDIENTS
2 Raw/Unripe Mangoes, peeled and  shredded
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Sugar
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Cinnamon Stick
4-5 Cloves
1/4 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
1 Cup Water

PROCESS
1. Mix salt into the shredded raw mango and let sit for an hour. The mango will begin to release water. Drain the water just a bit.
2. Add the cumin to a pan and toast on medium heat. You will smell it when it gets done.
3. Add 1 cup of water and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the mango and the rest of the ingredients except cayenne pepper.
4. Let is simmer on low heat until the mango is cooked through and combined well with the sugar.
5. Dip a spoon into the syrup. If it is not watery when you pick the spoon up, then you are good to go. If you let it cook to much then the syrup is going to get crystallized as it cools.
6. Turn the heat off and add the cayenne pepper and mix. Let it cool and enjoy!
