Lala's Jams — Mango Jam

Mango jam that tastes like biting into the fruit, with sugar kept under two percent.

Most jam is half sugar. Lala's is fruit, a squeeze of lemon and a little organic cane sugar, cooked in small batches so the fruit sets on its own. The result is thicker than most jams: it holds its shape on a cheese board, melts over ice cream, and still behaves on toast. Mango is naturally rich in vitamin C, and because the sugar is so low, that is mostly what you taste.

Who this is for

• You love jam but not the sugar crash that comes with it
• Kids who will eat fruit on toast if it tastes like fruit
• Cheese boards: mango against a sharp cheddar or fresh goat cheese
• Stirring into plain yogurt or oatmeal instead of flavored cups

Details

• 8 oz reusable glass jar
• Sweetened with organic cane sugar, under 2% of the jar
• Gluten free and vegan; no pectin, no preservatives
• Refrigerate after opening

Made eight or nine jars at a time by Leslie "Lala" Goodrich at LALA's Jam Bar in Petaluma, California, a family recipe passed down from her Scottish grandmother.
