I Had Too Many Mangos… So I Made Homemade Mango Jam 🥭

Homemade Mango Jam Recipe (Low Sugar) | What to Do With Too Many Mangoes

What do you do when all of your mangoes ripen at the same time?

We have two mango trees in our backyard in South Florida, and this year they decided to drop what felt like an endless supply of ripe mangoes all at once. Instead of letting them go to waste, we turned them into homemade mango jam and it ended up being the best mango jam we’ve ever had.

This easy mango jam recipe uses fresh mangoes, Splenda, and SURE-JELL Less or No Sugar Needed Pectin to create a sweet, spreadable jam with far less sugar than traditional recipes.

How to Enjoy Mango Jam

This mango jam is delicious:
• Spread on warm toast
• Served over pancakes or waffles
• Added to oatmeal
• Paired with cream cheese and crackers

My favorite way to enjoy it is with nonfat plain Greek yogurt.

Simply:
• Add nonfat plain Greek yogurt to a bowl
• Sweeten with Splenda and a small drizzle of agave
• Stir until combined
• Top with a generous spoonful of mango jam

It’s a simple, high-protein breakfast that tastes like dessert.

South Florida Mango Season

Mango season in South Florida typically runs from May through September, with peak season occurring between June and August. If you have a mango tree, you know how quickly the fruit can pile up once it starts ripening.

This homemade mango jam recipe is one of the best ways to preserve fresh mangoes and enjoy the taste of summer long after mango season is over.

When life gives you mangoes, make mango jam. 🥭
