8 (half-pint) jars jam
Ingredients
Directions
Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
Combine mangoes, pineapple, and vinegar in a stockpot over medium-high heat; simmer. Mash mangoes and pineapple with a potato masher to a chunky consistency; stir in sugar until dissolved.
Stir liquid pectin and habanero halves into mango-pineapple mixture; bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring frequently, until jam thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove habanero halves; discard 6 halves and chop 2 halves. Stir chopped habaneros back into jam.
Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
Remove jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 8 hours. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
