Pear Orange and Mango preserve

This is such an easy recipe. It tastes so much better than the store bought jam, and it tastes really fresh. You can use any fruit you have on hand to make the fruit preserve. Apples, berries, peaches,plums. I had a couple pears, oranges and some mango pieces. It takes very little effort, and yields a lot of preserve too.

Pears/Apples - 2
Oranges - 3
Mango - 1
Cinnamon stick - 1
Sugar - 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Peel and finely chop the fruits. I chopped them using a food processor. You can use a mixie, but they should not be too smooth.The fruit needs to have some texture. In a pan, add the fruit pulp, sugar, 1/2 cup water and a cinnamon stick. Cook on a medium flame, until it thickens and the fruit is cooked. It takes about 30 to 40 min. I used 1 cup sugar, but you can use more if you like it sweeter. When you are happy with the consistency, remove and cool. Store in a air tight jar.
