Inspired by Mexico’s abundance of tropical fruit, this no-cook preserve is made by mashing ripe mango and mixing it with chia seeds and lemon juice. It sets in the refrigerator and can be stored in the freezer.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mash the Mango

5 min

Mash the peeled, ripe mango with a fork or blend it until smooth.

2

Mix with Chia and Lemon

5 min

Add the chia seeds, lemon juice, and honey to the mashed mango and mix well.

3

Chill Until Set

240 min

Transfer the mixture to a clean jar and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, until the chia seeds become gel-like.

Reminder

Important: After refrigerating the jam, leave it undisturbed for at least 4 hours so the chia seeds set evenly instead of clumping.

Karışımı tarifte dendiği gibi 4 saat bekletmeden çok erkenden karıştırdım, chia tohumları eşit dağılmayıp bir kısmı dipte kalın bir tabaka hâlinde topaklandı, umduğum kıvamı bir türlü yakalayamadım o gün.
