| I tried one off the net, and it was way too sweet. I did half a batch with a bunch of added Datil peppers to it, and its nice and warm, but too sweet also. Thanks. |

| I made mango jam recently. I found that when I added a can of crushed pineapple, it helped to tame the sweetness of the mango, yet the pineapple taste wasn't that discernible. I also made a mango-strawberry, which, imho, is heaven. |

| If you are adding hot peppers and not adding acid in the form of vinegar or bottled lemon juice it may be unsafe. The peppers are low acid vegetables, not fruit. You can use Pomonas pectin and use no sugar or whatever you want. It doesn't have to be that sweet with Pomona's. |

| If you're talking about the hot mango jam recipe it uses 1/4 cup white wine vinegar. Mango pickles are a staple of Indian cuisine. Try looking up recipes for Mango pickle or Mango relish - pickles tend to be hotter and relishes tend to be more on the sweet side. |

| I don't know if the original poster added any vinegar or not. That was my concern. |
