SHELLEY: Read this with interest, many thanks, it sounds good. I may try but change the peach for mango and rework the orange a bit to get it a little closer to a mango and orange marmalade. Frankly looking for some Christmas ideas for my family gift hampers. I would also probably run the whole thing in apple juice to get the added pectin and a touch of extra flavours, there seem to be so many apples this year that people are almost paying to have them taken away ! Like you I also tend to run with less sugar, frankly I often don't really measure it, more working to tasting and testing as I go along. I bought a jam thermometer earlier this year, how clever is that, no more jam with a wallpaper paste consistency it all now is just about on the wet side of set, which is just great.

Will do, not too sure at the moment if I will use dried mango flakes or buy fresh. Frankly have made Apricot Jam using both types at different times and the dried apricot base had more flavour, but iwll let you know.

Sorry to keep on about my Kaki but I might on reflection do this with them instead of Mango.

this might have been something for my sharon fruit !! but all gone now.
