Mango Peach Preserves

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mango Peach Preserves.

1. Step 1

   Begin by taking a large saucepan and adding half of the chopped peaches.

2. Step 2

   Use a masher to crush them until they are mostly pureed.

3. Step 3

   Next, incorporate the remaining chopped peaches along with the diced mango into the saucepan.

4. Step 4

   Set the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.

5. Step 5

   This should take about 20 to 30 minutes, during which the fruits will break down and release their juices.

6. Step 6

   Once you have a mostly liquid consistency, transfer the peach-mango blend into a bowl, measuring out 5 1/4 cups back into the saucepan.

7. Step 7

   If you prefer a thicker preserve, you can use just 5 cups.

8. Step 8

   Now, add sugar to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium, bringing the mixture back to a boil.

9. Step 9

   Gradually sprinkle in the powdered fruit pectin, stirring continuously until it returns to a boil.

10. Step 10

    Allow it to boil for one minute before promptly removing it from the heat.

11. Step 11

    Carefully pour the hot preserves into sterilized jars, filling them to within a quarter inch from the top.

12. Step 12

    To eliminate any trapped air bubbles, run a clean knife or thin spatula around the inside edges of the jars.

13. Step 13

    Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to ensure a clean seal, then place the lids on top and screw on the rings securely.

14. Step 14

    Prepare a large canning pot by placing a rack at the bottom and filling it halfway with water.

15. Step 15

    Bring the water to a rolling boil.

16. Step 16

    Using a jar holder, gently lower the jars into the boiling water, ensuring they are spaced at least two inches apart.

17. Step 17

    Add more boiling water if necessary to cover the jars by at least one inch.

18. Step 18

    Cover the pot and process the jars in the boiling water for five minutes.

19. Step 19

    This step is crucial for preserving the vibrant flavors of your homemade peach-mango preserves, ensuring they are ready to delight your taste buds for months to come.
