Certo Mango Jam Recipes

MANGO JAM WITH PECTIN

Steps:

• Wash and dry the mangoes thoroughly. Peel and chop them. Then using a potato masher or the back of the spoon mash the mangoes to get a coarse texture. If you want a smooth texture, then blend it into a paste.
• Combine the sugar and pectin in a small mixing bowl and mix well to combine.
• Place the mashed mangoes into a heavy bottomed pan. Add lemon/ lime juice, calcium water and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add the sugar-pectin mix and keep cooking, stirring continuously for 2~3 minutes to dissolve pectin. Bring the mixture to a full boil and cook for 1~2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• While the jam is still hot, pour into clean bottles and let the jam cool completely before closing with the lid. Refrigerate the jam and make sure to use dry spoon/ knife while taking it out.

MANGO JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean & sterilize jars, lids and rings.
• Measure 3 cups of sugar into a large bowl. Remove ¼ cup sugar and in a separate bowl, mix it with the powered Sure-Jell. Set aside both mixtures; the sugar and Sure-Jell/sugar.
• Peel the mangos, remove the seeds. Chop into a small 1/2 dice. You will need 5 1/2 cups chopped mango. Clean raspberries, measure 1/2 cup - add both to a heavy bottom stock pan on the stove. Add in the spices, lemon, butter and Sure.Jell/sugar mixture and stir thoroughly.
• Mash the raspberries and mango pulp with a potato masher.
• Place mixture over high heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly. When it comes to a hard rolling boil (one that you can't stir down) add the remaining sugar and return to a boil, again stirring constantly.
• Boil hard for exactly one minute and remove from heat. Ladle into clean, sterilized jars.
• Clean the tops of the jars carefully (so you get a good seal). Place lids on jars and screw on the rings.
• Place the jam in a hot water bath for 10 minutes - this will help seal the jars. Remove from heat and place them on a heatproof surface (I usually use a heavy cutting board. You'll hear the jars make a popping noise as they seal. You can check to see if the jars have sealed by pressing down in the center of each jar. If it is sealed, it will not move. If it didn't seal the "button" on the top will pop up & down.

MANGO JAM

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.
