Sometimes we get mangos which are not raw or ripened fully.Usually these are fruits that might have fallen from trees because of heavy rains and winds. They are neither sweet nor very sour. If we get these type of fruits you need not throw them away.You can prepare delicious jam with them and serve as spread for breads and rotis.

Mangos – 3 to 4 approximately 1/2 kg,
Sugar/ jaggery – 125gms,
Desi ghee – 2 tsp,
