So delicious and had to resist the urge to add some chopped onion and cilantro and eat it like salsa. I know, my ideas just seem too percolate on their own. Made for PRMR.

This is a fast and easy recipe to put together and I ended up with 4 half pint jars. As it was, I had some ripe mango and some lime to use up and just happened to have a can of pineapple in the cupboard. I took the other reviewer's suggestions and cut the sugar down to 1 cup. I may have overcooked the jam a bit because it came out very, very thick. Do try it over ice cream...it is quite the treat. I mix some of the jam with some brandy to thin it out and heated it up a bit over the stove...then poured over the ice cream. I think giving it a water bath might be a good idea as I had 2 jars that did not seal. I would do this recipe again!!!

I made this as the topping for the mango cheesecake as suggested, but found this to be wayyyyy too sweet for me. I would reduce the sugar by half next time. However, the cake itself went over very well, and no one seemed to mind the, in my opinion, increased sugar. Thank you for sharing!

Great flavor but WAY too sweet if you're using ripe mangoes. I ended up adjusting the sweetness at the end by adding two teaspoons of white vinegar which brightened it up. Next time I make this I'll reduce the sugar by half and add half the lime juice in the beginning and save the other half for last so the heat doesn't destroy the tartness.
