I have never found that you need sugar if the mangos are fresh....leave it out.

I would cook it with an apple, the pectin from the apple should help it gel...

mmmmangoooozzzz
All-time fav-o-ramadamaringmybell-rite fruit ever!
I've never made jam, but found this blog-site with omgosh killer mango recipes,
not just mango jam, but cake and creamy beverage and salsa and... oh my.
Here's the link to the simple recipe from this fellow mango freak and food blogger: http://www.jeyashriskitchen.com/2013/05/mango-jam-mango-jam-...

Jam is super easy to make, however I don't have a recipe for mango jam either, but when we were in Loreto a few months ago I bought a jar of mango
jalapeno sauce, it was to die for! Not as thick as a chutney, but more saucy! I highly recommend it!

You can actually just chop up some mangoes, put them in a frying pan. let them cook until they have a thick consistency, throw in whatever spice you
like and then cool in the frig and use as a spread. I have done that with strawberries no sugar added and a heck of alot cheaper than Smuckers no
added sugar jam.

Some of these great recipes call for pectin...where would one find that in Mulege, or should I forget it?

"pectina" might be had at Saul's, dunno.
I like the bajagrouper's cook 'em with apples idea for a natural source of pectin and complimentary flavor.

Mmmm...great discussion and links! Here's a link to instructions on how to make. jam without pectin
How to make jam without pectin
There's a recommendation for apricot jam with lime, ginger and tequila...could substitute mangos!
Where'd I store those jam jars?
Happy jammin' mon,

OK....have made various jams & chutneys suggested..thanks all... venturing off into experimenting now..substitute brown sugar for white, add
pureed jalapenos, add tequila...all variations are good.....Done jammin for a bit..freezing mangos now,,best way is to peel em slice em, freeze the
slices on a flat pan and then bag em..my mangos are ripening at the rate of 6-8 per day so its not overwhelming....

Why sure..here ya go: 5-7 mangoes-peeled, sliced-chopped or mashed.
2 cups sugar more or less ) I use 1 cup white, 1 cup brown, 1 cup Vinegar..1 medium onion, 1/2 cup raisins, ginger to taste, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds,
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes.....combine vinegar and sugars, heat to low boil...add all other stuff....cook for about 45 minutes or until your
thickness is reached...seal per normal canning instructions.
Note: There should be no exact recipe for chutney, it lends itself to experimentation...add chopped apples,substitute green tomatoes or peaches for
mangoes..The basic recipe above pretty much follows Major Grays, and my Grandmothers.....REMEMBER it was created to take the bite out of ferocious
Indian dishes, to preserve the delicate British palate..enjoy

Chuckie, fantastic recipe.
Before reading your recipe above, I hated even the thought of making a chutney out of mango. It has been one of the reasons I have railed against
Bobby Flay and his many other fake Mexican recipes. I guess the thing that gets me all upside down is that, generally and with few exceptions, I
think fruit and things sugary and meat do not belong together and it seems like many people and cooks (if not most people and most cooks) seem to
slather chutney on meat, pineapple and sugar glazes on pork and ham. Never made sense to me, but I am admittedly in the minority on this.
The chili flakes sold me.
Suggestion: If you have an over abundance of mangoes to deal with, filet the meat from the mango and freeze it in an air tight ziplock freezer
bag. Will last for years. You can give bags of it away if you run out of freezer space. Then you will have plenty of "fresh" mango to make
smoothies, mango margaritas, jams, chutneys throughout the rest of the year any time you want. Looks good in the freezer, too...Bright crystalline
orange red color will "pop" at you with color and fond memories every time you open the freezer.

I have about 30 bags in the freezer, and am consuming mango daquiris at a frightening rate..thanks FYI: The chutney when "slathered" on cream cheese
makes a nice yummer...
