Mango Jam

Mango Jam

Mango jam captures the sunny, tropical flavor of fresh mangoes for year-round use. Can up this simple mango preserve for a shelf-stable jam, or simply store it in the refrigerator for immediate use. Either way, mango jam is the perfect way to preserve mangoes.

My family absolutely loves mangoes.  I’m not just talking casual appreciation, I mean serious deep mango related infatuation.  We love mangoes so much that we actually named our homestead “Vermont Mango Plantation,” as a simple homage to the perfect fruit. Bright and sunny, sweet and juicy…mangoes are everything I could want in a fruit.  We have a lovely attached greenhouse, and we were actually growing mango trees in there for a time (until our unruly geese broke in and trashed the place, but that’s another story).
