Jam is made from pieces of fruit, usually chopped or crushed and cooked with sugar until the pectin releases and the mixture is thickened to a spreadable consistency. The most common fruits used to make jam are berries, grapes, and stone fruit.

Mango jam is a sweet and thick condiment containing ripe mangoes, granulated sugar, citrus juice, and water. While lemon juice is typical for fruit jams, lime juice can enhance the tropical flavor of mangoes.
