  2. Step 1: Hull strawberries and chop into small pieces, then peel and dice mangos to match. Combine in a large bowl and let macerate 15-20 minutes until juicy, mashing lightly for texture—this builds natural pectin for the no-pectin set.
  3. Step 2: Stir in sugar and lemon juice, resting another 10 minutes as it dissolves into a glossy syrup. Taste and adjust for low sugar strawberry mango jam preference.
  4. Step 3: Transfer to a wide pot, bring to rolling boil over medium-high, skimming foam. Boil 5 minutes to 220°F, stirring to prevent sticking.
  5. Step 4: Simmer medium-low 25-30 minutes, stirring often until thickened—test by chilling a spoonful; it wrinkles when pushed.
  6. Step 5: Ladle into hot sterilized jars with 1/4-inch headspace, wipe rims, lid, and water bath 10 minutes for canning.
  7. Step 6: Cool overnight, check seals, and store—enjoy your fresh strawberry mango preserve!
