Cubes of fresh mango are simmered with orange and lime juice, grated lime zest, sugar, and a touch of dry ginger. This slightly sweet, vibrantly orange jam pairs well with creamy fresh ricotta, fresh or aged goat cheese, cream cheeses, or a mild cheese that benefits from some added sweetness and citrus. Serve with crackers and salty nuts, or atop toasted bread and whipped ricotta.
The best way to cut mango is to take a sharp knife and cut lengthwise right up against the pit. Repeat on the other side. Make a tic-tac-toe board into the flesh of the mango and then push the pieces out away from the peel. For any fruit remaining on the pit, remove with a small, sharp knife.
