The one on the left is strawberry-mango jam and the one on the right is strawberry-blackberry jam.
The mangoes and blackberries both came from my Bountiful Basket, so they are two fruits I normally wouldn't buy (due to cost) so it was fun to have a few different fruits to mix and play around with. The strawberries I got at the Winco Grand Opening, 4 lbs for $2.98. And I still had plenty left for eating!
I just used the freezer jam instructions in the box of pectin, and used half of the strawberry and then half of the mango/blackberry instructions, then mixed 'em together. (I made two batches.)
It was really fun to make my own jam, I know that most of you normally do that, but I haven't really done it much.
And oh boy, is it yummy!!
That's awesome. Mango and strawberry, that would be fun to taste! I love experimenting with jam. I process mine due to lack of freezer space. It's always the challenge to see if it sets up or will be runny. (Although runny jam is always yummy too!)
ReplyDeleteThis jam is really good!!!
