There's a little produce shop downtown called The Produce House, they always have a wall of produce marked down for quick sale, $1.50 a basket. The baskets are filled with everything from completely rotted fruits and veggies to things that just need used and overstock items. I check it out whenever I'm in town and sometimes I get really great deals. For the past several years in the spring I have gotten mangoes, 9 in a basket... that's 9 mangoes for $1.50!!! At best you can get 1 mango at the grocery store for $1. So I buy up as many as I can and take them home to freeze and use for smoothies and mango-strawberry jam.
This is the recipe for my mango-strawberry Jam, this is one of my most popular jams so I thought I would share it with you!... Isn't it the prettiest color?!
4 1/2 c. smashed mangoes & strawberries
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 package powdered pectin
5 1/2 c. sugar
Combine fruit, lemon juice and pectin in a large saucepot. Bring slowly to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece lids. Process 10 minutes in water bath or 20 minutes in a 250 degree oven.
Makes 7 half-pints

This looks super tasty. One of my all time favorite jams was a raspberry mango jam and this sounds like it would be the bomb.
I found you through Made By You Mondays and am your newest follower. Come check me out and follow back, too, if you're interested @ Carissa's Creativity Space
When I ad mango to things, it makes it extra gelatinous. But I think you can't ad it to gelatin, since it breaks it down and your jello won't set? Does it help the jam be jello-jiggly, or does it break it down and make it runny?
Is this 4 1/2 total cups of fruit or of each mangoes and strawberries?
4 1/2 total cups
It's the same consistency as strawberry jam.
But.... How much of each? I'd be so worried about messing the flavor up
half & half, or whatever you have, you won't mess up the flavor. If you want more mango flavor use more mango, if you want more berry flavor use more berries :)
Is the fruit mashed or cut up to make the 4 and 1/2 cup? also is this a recipe that can be doubled successfully? thanx for sharing!!!!
