How to Make Sweet Mango Preserves
- Combine the chopped mangoes, chilies, and grated ginger in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and water. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it dissolves completely.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Boil rapidly for 10-15 minutes, or until the preserves reach setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
- Stir in the sultanas and balsamic vinegar.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into warm, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
- Seal the jars according to the manufacturer's instructions. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for optimal shelf life (optional).
