Does anyone know how mangoes compare with peaches in terms of pectin?

I have a mango jam recipe I want to substitute peaches for, since the
mangoes here are yucky right now (and the peaches are so very yummy)!

Will a straight substitution work?

Andrea, is there a particular reason you don't simply use a recipe for
Peach Jam? Or is there something particularly special about the mango
jam you don't find in a recipe for Peach Jam?

The recipe I have has other fruit (strawberries and raspberries) in it
besides just mangoes.

The reason I don't want to use mangoes is because they are not very
nice in this area right now, but I thought peach might be a good
substitute.

I apologize for the confusion, and hope this helps

Does it use commercial pectin? If not, I'd just sub the peaches and
keep cooking. :-0) If the recipe doesn't use any lemon juice, I think
I'd add a couple tablespoons at least (peach jam recipes and strawberry
jam recipes both call for it).

Barb, it does use commercial pectin, as well as citic acid and lemon
juice.

If you think a straight peach substitute will be OK, I will toss
caution (and my berries) to the winds and go a'jammin

Jeez, it almost sounds like my Mango-Strawberry Jam with Kiwifruit afa
both citric acid and juice (though I like lime in this recipe).
Go for it. The second page here has info about pectin and acid in a
bunch of fruits; unfortunately, mango is not one of them. Which is the
major fruit component, mango, raspberry, or strawberry?

(Be sure you get all of it -- it ends in =nw.

Let us know how it works, eh?

Thanks for the link, looks interesting. I have been looking for
something like that, but didn't see that particular page.

What is your Mango-Strawberry Jam recipe?

I really appreciate your help in tweaking this recipe to work with
peaches. A friend of mine made it (the mango version) a couple of
years ago, and it was soooooo good.

For your viewing pleasure. What I made this year didn't have kiwifruit.
Finding mangoes and kiwifruits ripe at the same time is a real trick!

NOTES : Source: Made it up for 1996 State Fair. Best stuff I made all
summer; it didn't win a thing at the Fair. Humbug! But it did win
First Place in 1997!! But not in 1998.

I think Ma Pickle won a prize at one of her Oregon or Washington fairs
with it, too. Pretty cool.
