Strawberry Mango Jam

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

All this week I will be sharing recipes along with a group of blogging friends for Farmer’s Market recipes.

Now I am a woman who loves her farm markets and I generally scope out as many as I can each summer. Sometimes they are groupings in parking lots, sometimes a lone roadside stand, sometimes a stand alone orchard, sometimes a full working farm.

And lucky me, here in Ohio we generally have it all, although I tend to kvetch about how I live in a sea of corn. But not in urban areas. But driving out of town, there is heavy farming for corn and soy beans. And if you are lucky, you just might spot an Amish farmer trucking down the road to visit his neighbor.

And the markets generally have tons of different kinds of produce, ranging from asparagus and strawberries in the Spring, onward to tomatoes and blueberries, cherries and summer corn, on into apples and pumpkins for fall.

So today I am sharing my recipe for strawberry mango jam, which I love the flavor of. Strawberries I can get local, and often I just pick up the mangoes at the market on sale (I have gotten them as cheap as thirty-nine cents each this year!) (yeah, I love a bargain!) but if you live somewhere that grows those, you may be even more fortunate.

I’ll add some photos I took at the markets each day this week, posted here and there around the recipe post. I hope you enjoy. And join  me tomorrow when I share my recipe for Summer Pasta Primavera, which is my answer to what to do with all the cherry tomatoes off my plants in the backyard with a few other things thrown in from the farm market.
