For the Jam

4 cups Mashed Fresh Strawberries Select juicy, ripe berries for the sweetest flavor.
2 cups Mashed Fresh Mango Use fully ripe mangos for tropical sweetness.
1 package Powdered Pectin Essential for gel consistency; avoid low-sugar varieties.
1/4 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Enhances flavor and aids in preservation.
7 cups Sugar Balances sweetness and is crucial for gel formation.
1/2 tablespoon Butter Optional; helps reduce foaming during cooking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sterilize your mason jars in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
Mash about 4 cups of fresh strawberries and 2 cups of ripe mangos until chunky.
In a pot, combine mashed fruit, powdered pectin, and lemon juice. Heat over medium until boiling.
(Optional) Add half a pat of butter to reduce foaming.
Gradually stir in 7 cups of sugar, keep stirring until dissolved, then return to a hard boil.
Remove from heat and skim off excess foam.
Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch space, and process jars in a water-bath canner for 15 minutes.
Remove jars and let cool completely; check seals before storing.
