a friend gave me some for Christmas, husband loved it, so needed more.. I took this recipe and added another 3-4 mangos so it was not so hot. He loves it on crackers, with peanut butter, on waffles, just like any other jelly.. also mixes great with cream cheese for crackers. A tiny bit of an after bite.. but wonderful..not sure it needed the pectin, it was thick enough. I also put mine in the blender instead of chopping it up

I made this, using Rita's changes. I had six small jars. This is beyond delicious!! Had it on my pork ribs last night--it was wonderful. Just had it with cream cheese and crackers for lunch--even better. I'll probably make another batch or two for gifts.

I blender the mangos and peppers in my vita mix (blender). Then added it to the pot with the vinegar and gradually added powdered pectin while stirring.(I didn't have the liquid pectin so it had to be made different as directed from Sharon `s). Brought it to a full rolling boil then added the sugar (I used 5 cup which was plenty) all at once stirring all the time and brought to a full rolling boil for one more minute. This made 6 cups of jelly. This would be wonderful on grilled chicken or pork. I wish I planned the picture better and made it with chicken. Thanks Sharon keep them coming.
