  • “This is a great tasting jam made with seasonal tropical produce. I did need to add some pectin as this jam did not want to set properly but it did not need much at all.A keeper for mango season!”

  • “Really yummy and very easy to make. WAY too much sugar, though, even after I cut the amount in 1/2. I have a Chocolate Mint plant so I added about 3 Tbsp of fresh mint. We got five 12 oz canning jars worth of lovely, tasty jam.”

  • “Just finished making this.Yum, it is so good.I will be making this every year from now on.Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe:)”

  • “What a lovely combination! However, my rating is only based on the combination and ratio of the fruits, not on the sugar. I didn’t measure the sugar in cups, but weighed the amount of fruits and used the same amount of a special sugar that contains pectin (this sugar is called Gelierzucker in Switzerland). This is the way the Swiss generally make jam: one amount of sugar to the same amount of Gelierzucker. I then stirred the jam until it jellied. As it was to sweet for me, I added some water and cooked the jam again. I forgot to add the lime juice to my first batch, but used a generous amount (maybe too generous) in the second batch. It is funny how one ingredient (lime juice) can make such a difference. Both jams are yummy, but they differ in taste quite a lot. The one without lime juice tastes much sweeter, though. Maybe a little bit too sweet. Anyway, I love both jams and will use them as presents at Christmas.”

  • “Yummy jam…easy to make.”
