Cook the mango with the apples
Place a pan on the stove, add the pureed apples and mangoes, and adjust the heat to medium.
Then, add 400g of sugar and stir well until the sugar completely dissolves into the mango-apple mixture. After cooking for about 5 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and all the diced mango pieces.
After 45 minutes, our apple-mango jam mixture will gradually thicken and turn a beautiful brown color, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
Once the jam has cooled slightly, carefully scoop it into a glass jar for storage.
