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!!!!
Great recipe taste great if you want another combo recipe try Kiwi- strawberry
I use 3lbs strawberry
2lbs kiwi
12 cups sugar
2 TBLS lemon juice
prepare same as above recipe
Forgot to say made this super easy I used blender on fruit got 5 cups just added a little more sugar and boiled a little longer
Kiwi srawberry jar forgot 2 packs pectin
Yes I have made strawberry kiwi too- very yummy! Thanks for posting!!
Mine turned out wonderfully! I added something that I learned from another jam recipe. If you add a 1/4 tsp of almond extract after you remove it from heat, it really makes the fruit flavor much more rich. Be careful not to add too much. The almond flavor shouldn't overpower the fruit. It's easy to pour too much when one measures.

I doubled the recipe, and it turned out awesome! So good! Thanks for the recipe!
Just tried your recipe tonight - added grated fresh ginger - and it's so yummy! Thank you!
Just made 9 jars! Delish!!
I just made this. BUT I doubled the recipe and added jalapeños...AMAZING. I'll be making again but without jalapeños for those that just don't care for the heat. THANK YOU for sharing. south sioux city nebraska
Good evening, my question is, what do you do if it doesn't jell?
Can I use frozen fruit when making this?
If so should I measure the fruit out while frozen or fresh and should it be thawed before making.
My son was very uncomfortable because of the same problem then we started taking guidance by them and now he feels much relaxed than ever before! user experience consultants
