Strawberry mango jam

Why not get double the deliciousness from the same fruit? We made strawberry syrup from the strawberry juices, then combined the leftover macerated strawberries with mango and lemon juice to create a scrumptious jam! That’s what we call a win-win recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 lb. ripe Strawberries 1,814 g.
  • 1.25 lb. Mango 600 g
  • 2 tbsp. Lemon
  • 1.25 lb. Sugar 600 g.
  • 1 tsp. Pectin

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries:

  • Pick very ripe strawberries for this recipe.
  • Gently rinse the strawberries under cold running water.
  • Remove the green stems, any blemishes, and white cores (hulls) from each strawberry. To hull strawberries, insert a knife or huller at a slight angle and rotate it around the stem to remove it.
  • Chop or quarter the strawberries and place them into a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Add 1 ½ cups of sugar and mix well with the strawberries. It's okay if you squash the strawberries a bit while mixing. Mix the remaining sugar with pectin and set it aside for later.
  • Cover the pot and let it sit for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. This allows the sugar to draw out the strawberry juices needed to make the syrup.

Cook the Strawberries:

  • After 4 hours, you should see plenty of strawberry juices in the pot. Bring the strawberries to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar.
  • Skim any foam forming on top.
  • Once the mixture is boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and use a fine mesh strainer to drain the strawberry juices into a separate pot. We won't need these juices for this recipe. Puree the remaining stewed strawberries and add them to the heavy-bottomed pot you will use to make your jam. Now, prepare the mangoes.
  • Prepare the Mangoes
  • Wash and peel the mangoes. Cut them into medium-sized chunks.
  • Use a blender or food processor to puree the mangoes. Once done, add the pureed mangoes to the pot with the pureed strawberries and mix everything thoroughly.

Cook the Strawberry Mango Jam:

  • Bring the strawberry-mango mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir often to prevent the mixture from burning at the bottom.
  • Once the jam mixture begins to boil, lower the heat to low and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
  • At the 20-minute mark, add the remaining pectin-sugar mix to the cooking jam. Stir well until the sugar and pectin dissolve.
  • Increase the heat to medium and cook for ten more minutes.
  • Once the jam is ready, pour it into sterilized jars and process them according to your preferred canning method.
