Mango Jam Recipe

Have you ever made mango jam?  Well, now’s the time!  It’s super easy and it makes a wonderful DIY gift to keep on hand when you have guests from out of town or you’re visiting someone for dinner. Homemade and yummy…the perfect combo!

First, I have to just come right out and say it.  I’ve always, always {and still do} call this JELLY.  I guess it is technically JAM {Jam has chunks of fruit and is not clear}.  Whatever.  Call it what you want.  There’s no need to be proper.

I have a neighbor with a giant mango tree that produces hundreds of mangoes each year.  They are giant ones that are super juicy…not the small, stringy ones.  We get bags and bags of them. We eat them for breakfast and add slices to vanilla ice cream {Oh WOW}.  But, it’s hard to eat them fast enough.  So, that’s where making jam or jelly comes in to save the day and keep us from wasting any of this amazing fruit.

Mango Jam Recipe

SUPPLIES:

  • 3 1/2 cups diced mango
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp Ball® RealFruit™ Classic Pectin {Amazon link}
  • 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 (8 oz) half pint glass preserving jars with lids and bands {Amazon link}

You can double this recipe, but I like to make smaller batches.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. PREPARE boiling water in a large pot. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside. You can find all the information on how to do all this right here.  It’s a PDF with easy steps.
  2. COMBINE the diced mango and lemon juice in a 6- or 8-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that can not be stirred down, over high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. ADD entire measure of sugar, stirring to dissolve. Return mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
  4. LADLE hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.
  5. PROCESS in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.

Use this same recipe with strawberries!  It’s always a favorite.

Tie a pretty ribbon and add a tag for an instant gift that’s sure to make someone happy.

Have you ever preserved anything else?  I have only made jam, but I’d like to try a few new things soon.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
