🔹 果 醬
小時候 總是期待媽買吐司順便買的果醬
每次我都先把它當作糖果吃掉半罐以上
那酸酸甜甜的美好滋味令人永遠難忘
就像她對我的包容一樣
芒果是臺灣很有名的農產品，品種很多，但產期很短，通常集中於每年的五月到七月。然而，只要把芒果做成果醬後，就可大幅延長保存的時間，讓人慢慢享用。這裡使用的紅龍芒果，產地為臺灣雲林，因為蒂頭聞起來帶有水蜜桃的香氣，又稱為水蜜桃芒果。這個稀有品種的特色是果肉纖維細又多汁，但產量不多，產期僅限每年的六月與七月，很適合用來做果醬。此外，也可以把這裡的芒果換成草莓、鳳梨、橘子、藍莓等其它水果，做成各種不同口味的果醬。然而，由於各種水果的甜度與酸度不一，需要再自行斟酌砂糖與檸檬汁的用量。（文末附影片）
🔹 Jam
Always looked forward to the jam Mum bought with bread when I was little.
I saw it as sweets every time and ate a half jar of it immediately.
The great experience of sweet and sour flavour is unforgettable,
Just like the generosity she showed to me.
Taiwan's mango is a kind of very famous produce with a variety of breeds, which are harvested in a very short period of time, usually between May and July. However, if you make it into jam, you can preserve it for a much longer period of time and enjoy it slowly. The variety I use here is called "red dragon mango" or "juicy peach mango", which is grown in Yunlin County and smells a bit like juicy peach around the stem. Featuring silky fibre and juicy flesh, this rare breed's yields are rather limited, and it's harvested only between the end of June and the beginning of July. Therefore, it's a very nice choice for making jam. Besides, instead of mango, you can also use strawberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, blueberries, or other kinds of fruits to make jam of different flavours. However, due to the different degree of sweetness and sour taste of the different fruit, the amount of sugar and lemon juice used here should be adjusted accordingly. (See the video tutorial at the end.)

把果醬罐與蓋子用沸水滾一到兩分鐘消毒。取出晾乾後備用。
Disinfect the jam jar and its cover in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain them and set them aside.

以小火用不鏽鋼鍋煮芒果丁混合物約二十分鐘。邊煮邊用耐熱矽膠刮刀把芒果丁壓爛。
Boil the diced mango mixture in a stainless pot over low heat for about 20 minutes. Press the diced mango with a heat-resistant silicone spatula at the same time.

把果醬用刮刀劃過，兩邊的果醬不會馬上合起來，即可關火。此時，滴一些果醬在冰的盤子上，可以測試果醬冷藏後的狀態。
Split the jam with a spatula. If the jam on the 2 sides won't join together immediately, you can turn the heat off. Then, drizzle some jam on a chilled plate to evaluate its fluidity after being refrigerated.

趁熱把果醬裝罐，並且盡量裝滿，把蓋子轉緊，不需倒扣，放涼後就能達到類似真空保存的效果。
While the jam is hot, pour it into the jar until the jar is full. Cover the jar tight so that the jam can be preserved in a vacuum-packaging way after cooling off.

切成丁狀可以讓纖維的長度不會太長也不會太短，吃起來的口感剛剛好。
Dicing can make the fibre length adequate, which is just perfect for jam's texture.
(2)
這裡要使用白砂糖，砂糖的香氣才不會蓋過芒果的香氣。
You should use white sugar here, whose flavour won't be stronger than the flavour of mango.
(3)
擠汁之前，先把檸檬或萊姆揉一揉，會比較容易擠汁。
Rubbing the lemon or lime before squeezing can make it easier to squeeze the juice.
(4)
加一點檸檬汁或萊姆汁，能讓果醬的味道更豐富，也有助於釋放果膠。
Adding a bit of lemon juice or lime juice can make the jam's flavour richer and also helps release mango's pectin.
(5)
拌好後，冷藏八小時，讓果肉釋放果膠，有助於食材融合。
After being stirred, the mixture should be refrigerated for 8 hours to let the flesh release the pectin and help the ingredients fit in with each other.
(6)
用滾水消毒罐子與蓋子一兩分鐘，可以延長果醬裝罐後的保存期限。
Disinfect the jar and its cover with boiling water for 1 or 2 minutes so as to extend the storage time of the jam.
(7)
果醬放涼後，密封冷藏可保存三個月，密封冷凍可保存半年，開罐後可冷藏保存兩週。
After the jam has cooled down, it can be preserved in a fridge for 3 months or in a freezer for 6 months. After you open the jar, it can be preserved in the fridge for 2 weeks.
