Stir together sugar and water in a large saucepan over low heat, and bring to a boil. When the mixture begins boiling, increase heat to medium-high.

Step 2
Pour cooked jam into sterilized jars and seal according to canning directions.
Step 3
Make 4 to 5 slits in mangoes and microwave on High until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool, then remove the peel and inner seed; place mango pulp in a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the pulp well.
