This is a basic jam recipe and I have used it to make mixed berry jam as well. I am sure mango and guava will work equally well.

Storage & Make Ahead

You can store the jam in an airtight jar in refrigerator for a few weeks to a few months, depending on usage.

You can also freeze strawberry jam for up to 1 year in freezer-safe containers or bags. Thaw frozen jam in the refrigerator before using it, and once thawed, use it within a reasonable time.
