m making Mango Jam :D

It's 4:18 a.m and i am trying to make mango jam...yes for the first time :)

The mango is in the microwave and making weird noises wait let me check it...agh there is mango juice all inside the microwave so extra work will have to clean it:( anyways now will let the mango cool down so that i can peel it easily and not to forget music to entertain me !

This aint nothin but a Summer jam bronze skin and cinnamon tan Whoa!

perfect song for the occasion aint it? :) the mango has cooled down after being run under cold water so i am peeling it now and the next song on my playlist is Evil deeds by eminem.

Mashing the mango pulp with a fork on the beats of don't cha is fun.

Now the mangoes are mashed and i have switched to my Urdu playlist starting with 'Dil chahta hy kabhi na beetain chamkeelay din' i so love this song <3

Say hoi ho hoi!gonna lose control ! yes thats the song playing now and the sugar and water are in the sauce pan and on the stove. Thank God i rechecked the recipe it says to keep the heat low and i had it full on! Slowly stirring in sugar and water with one of my favorite slow melody 'sanson ko sanson mai dhalnay do zara' .

Its boiling now so i have increased the heat to medium high but i have no idea when the 'soft fine threads' will be formed so that i can add the mango pulp to it, in fact i dont even know what they are :P

I dont have Safron threads so i just poured in the mango pulp, stirred for a while now waiting for it to thicken which should take 5-8 minutes. while i am waiting i'll listen to 'rubaroo roshni' on repeat. Oh yea gotta keep stirring atleast once every min or it starts sticking to the pan.

Finally!its ready and poured into a container i will take some snaps before putting it away to cool.

If You wanna make this jam here are the ingredients:

500g mango

3/4 cup sugar

3/8 cup water

1 1/2 saffron threads.(optional)

I halved the original recipe which i found on http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mango-Jam/Detail.aspx

Now i hope it tastes good :) woah just noticed ready in exactly 1 hour as the site had said cool!

whew sleep time now. laters:)
