Easy Homemade Mango Jam with Ginger
This thick, spreadable fresh mango jam is so easy to make (no pectin) and it tastes amazing! It's great spread on crackers with goat cheese, added to a smoothie, swirled into yogurt, spooned over ice cream....and the list goes on and on. But honestly, I can eat it by the spoonful right from the jar. It's flavor and aroma sends me to some place in the tropics.
