Strawberry Mango Freezer Jam

This one took a trial and error to get it to set up. There is no strawberry/mango freezer jam recipe out there so I took the mango recipe off the pkg and added strawberries. Apparently when you do it with mango's you have to use 2 pkg instead of 1 so when I tried it with the 1 it didnt set. So here is what i did.

3 cups mashed/blended fruit (I did a mixture of mango's and strawberries about half and half) dont make it a puree though. Leave some chunks

6 cups sugar (you cannot do less or it will NOT set up!)

1/4 C. lemon juice

2 pkg liquid pectin (i used certo)

Put the fruit in a bowl.

put the sugar in a separate bowl.

Add the sugar to the fruit and mix very well. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Mix the certo and lemon juice together; add to the fruit/sugar mixture. Mix for 3 minutes.

After mixed pour in freezer containers and let set up. Can take up to 24 hours. Mine only took about an hour. Is good in freezer for 1 year. And in the fridge for 3 weeks.

Strawberry Freezer Jam

I made this for the first time yesterday with the help of my Mother in law. It was fairly easy. Here's the recipe:

2 cups strawberries (blended but NOT puree needs to still have some chunks)
4 cups sugar
1 pkg sure jell (the box has a few pkgs in it)
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Mean sugar and strawberries in seperate bowls. then mix together well.
let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile mix the sure jell and lemon juice in a cup and pour into the strawberry/sugar mixuture when ready. mix for 3 minutes. after 3 min you can put into freezer containers. can take up to 24 hours to set.

YOU CANNOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE!! you have to do it in batches.
