Learn how to make the best freezer jam with fresh mango ... so easy and so delicious!
Servings: 48 servings (2 tablespoons each)
Calories: 84kcal
Ingredients
- 4 mangos, peeled and roughly chopped
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large, juicy lemons)
- 5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 (1.75 ounce / 49 gram) box Sure Jell Original Fruit Pectin
Equipment
- Potato Masher
- Mason Jars (6 half-pint jars or 3 pint jars)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a potato masher to mash the chopped mango into small pieces.
- Measure out exactly 3 cups mashed mango, then add to a large bowl. (If you have extra mango, reserve it for another use.)
- Stir lemon juice into mango, then add sugar and mix well. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After 10 minutes, combine pectin and ¾ cup water in a small pot. Bring mixture to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute (continuing to stir), then remove from heat.
- Add hot pectin to mango mixture, then stir for 3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. (This may take longer than 3 minutes.)
- Transfer jam to jars, leaving ½-inch of empty headspace at top. Cover with lids.
- Let jam stand at room temperature for 24 hours, or until set.
- Once jam is set, refrigerate it for up to 3 weeks, or freeze it for up to 1 year. Enjoy!
