Mango Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare jars/lids.
• Peel and dice mangoes.
• Measure mangoes, pour into a kettle, and add equal amount of sugar.
• Add juice of 1 lemon and zest of 1/2 of lemon.
• Add just enough water to keep from sticking, about 1/4-1/2 cup.
• Cook until soft.
• Immersion blend until smooth or work in batches with a blender.
• Cook until thickened.
• (Ice cold plate method: before beginning, put a clean plate in the freezer, when the jam begins to thicken, test the thickness by dropping a spoonful on the cold plate. Cook until desired consistency.).
• Pour in jars and seal.

Steps:

• Wash fruit, peel, seed & cut in cubes. Mash with a potato masher or run through a food processor or blender try NOT to puree, you want some whole pieces.
• In a 10 qt pan, mix fruit, lemon juice and pectin. Place over high heat; stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
• Still stirring, add sugar. Return to a boil that cannot be stirred down, then boil for exactly 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat; skim off foam. Ladle hot jam into prepared half pint jars leaving a 1/4" headspace.
• Wipe rims clean. Place lids on jars and firmly screw on rings.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

Steps:

• Boil, steam, or microwave the whole mangoes until soft. Cool, then remove the peel and inner seed; place the mango pulp in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the pulp well.
• Place the sugar and water in a large saucepan over low heat, stir mixture, and bring to a boil. When mixture begins boiling, increase heat to medium-high. Continue boiling until fine, soft threads form, 270 degrees F (135 degrees C). Stir in the mango pulp, add the saffron threads, if desired, and boil until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Pour cooked jam into sterilized jars and seal according to canning directions.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half-full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Peel and pit mangos. Grind or crush fruit thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 4 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in lemon juice.
• Stir sugar into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
