I've made this several times and realized today (as I'm getting ready to make it again) that I hadn't rated it. I would give it 10 stars if I could! I followed the recipe as written. It's so easy and so beautiful. Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious!Mango and lime were just meant to be together in this tropical jam. I made as directed and got five beautiful half-pints. Very easy, a good recipe for a beginner. Thanks, Heather Feather, for another great recipe!
