 Tip 1:

 To sterilise the jars and their lids, boil them for 15 minutes before pouring in the jam. You can replace the almonds and almond essence with 1 tablespoon of candied ginger.

 Tip 2:

 If a smooth jam is preferred, omit the flaked almonds and liquidise the mangoes rather than chop in step 4.
