Vanilla Mango Preserves

June 10, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

This Vanilla Mango Preserves recipe takes just an hour to make; it’s a delicious tropical twist on your favorite fruity jam and a great way to spiffy up your morning toast.

Vanilla Mango Preserves 1

So apparently mangos are like zucchini. When they’re in season, anyone with a tree will do just about anything to use them up.

A friend of ours dropped off two pretty big boxes of mangos in less than a week, knowing they’re one of my favorites. It was such a sweet gesture that left us eating mangos hand-over-fist, and yet we still weren’t able to keep up with those mangos.

In an effort to preserve them for later consumption, I made a double batch of my Easy No-Churn Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt and tucked it into the freezer. I also made my Mango Lassi Poppy Seed Muffins and gifted them to the same neighbor when he popped by one evening (I don’t think that qualifies as re-gifting, does it? Lol. Maybe more like repurposing).

Vanilla Mango Preserves 2

I did a few other things with those mangos and was actually sad to see the last mango of the group alone in the fridge. But not all that sad because I had whipped up these mango preserves to enjoy once the fresh mangos ran out!

These preserves are fabulous on toast, but are also pretty versatile; use them to:

Make grown-up pb&j.

Top oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, or waffles or to fill crepes.

Throw together a quick appetizer: top baguette slices with a slice of Manchego cheese or a schmear of mascarpone, a spoonful of these preserves, and a fresh sprig of mint.

Fold into whipped cream to make Mango Fool.

Spread it between the layers of a layer cake instead of frosting.

To name just a few ideas!

What’s your favorite way to use up mangos?

Vanilla Mango Preserves
Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  40 mins
Total time:  1 hour
Yield: About 5 cups/2½ pints
 
This Vanilla Mango Preserves recipe takes just an hour to make; it’s a delicious tropical twist on your favorite fruity jam and a great way to spiffy up your morning toast.
Ingredients
  • 2 kg (4.4 lbs) ripe mangos (see Note)
  • 2 cups (400 g) sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla bean paste (or the scrapings from 1 vanilla bean)
Instructions
  1. Peel, pit, and coarsely chop the mangos.
  2. Put the sugar, water, salt, and lemon juice in a 5-quart pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and continue boiling until it reaches 270F.
  3. Stir in the chopped mango, bring back up to a boil, and continue cooking until it reaches 220F, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Turn the heat down as necessary so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom.)
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  5. Transfer the preserves to sterile jars; the jars should be preserved through canning or stored in the refrigerator.
Notes
Mangos: Weigh the mangos whole, before peeling and pitting them. I used Champagne mangos (also called Ataulfo mangos), but Alphonso mangos would also be great.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
