Alphonso mangoes (80% ripened)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak 80% ripened Alphonso mangoes in water for 1 hour. Wipe dry them well. Soak saffron in some water and peel the elaichi and keep ready. Peel and dice the mangoes.

* Step 2

Measure the quantity of diced mangoes using any set bowl and take it in a heavy bottomed steel utensil.Here I have 2 set bowls of mango dices. Measure and add in equal quantity of sugar i. e. 2 set bowls.

* Step 3

Mix the sugar and mangoes a bit and allow it to rest for an hour, to melt the sugar. After 1 hour the sugar would get almost dissolved.

* Step 4

Now switch on gas on high flame and stir and cook for 3-4 minutes and bring to a boil. Note not burn at the base. Now reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring in between.

* Step 5

Now, add in citric acid. This helps to avoid the crystallization of sugar in the final pickle. Mix the saffron using a pestle.

* Step 6

Mix and cook for almost 20 minutes, until an almost 1-sring consistency of sugar syrup is achieved. Another way to check is that the syrup should not be runny.

* Step 7

One more way to check is that the mango pieces will get a bit hardened on one side. Then switch off gas.

* Step 8

On cooling, the syrup will get thicker, like honey. Cool completely and fill the Murabba in clean jars. You can store it at room temperature or in the fridge as desired.
