Mango Salsa Canning Recipe
This is what we love about home canning – It can feel like summer all year long with this tropical salsa!
When the grocery store has mangoes on sale, we stock up and water bath can this delicious no tomato salsa. Our local Aldi grocery store often has mangoes on sale for only 29 cents each. As you can imagine, I fill my cart!
When choosing fresh ingredients for this recipe, try to get the freshest and best quality possible.
Your mangoes should be half-ripe – firm but not rock hard. (I had a few get ripe and used those also, so it is allowed, I just recommend that the majority of your mangoes are still a little green and firm)
Some people have bad creations to the skins of mangoes. If you do or are unsure if you will, use gloves when pealing.
This recipe is very simple. All you have to do is add all the ingredients to a pot and cook it! It’s great on fish or rice, but I’ve been known to just eat it straight out of the jar.
Because this is a high-acid recipe, we will be water bath canning it, so no pressure canner is needed.

We love this recipe, both as a salsa but more so throwing it in the crockpot with frozen chicken, then serving over rice. Very good! Thank you for sharing! My question- is it possible/ safe to can this in quarts instead of pints, using longer time of course?
I would like to make this recipe. If I add Habanero peppers to it could I still water bath with the same recipe?
Thank you!
Hi, Mel! Yes, you can still water bath if you substitute with Habanero peppers.
Can I put lime juice and avocados . green pepper., In salsa
is it ok to process in a pressure canner and if so, how long
There’s no need to pressure can this recipe since it is high-acid. You just need to water bath. Your pressure canner can be used to water bath, just don’t lock the lid to create pressure.
Thank you for sharing this! I have a recently acquired tomato allergy and miss eating salsa and chips. This recipe is great.
I have never canned anything before, but your delicious recipe has inspired me.
Just made this! Left out ginger and cilantro because of allergies! Absolutely amazing flavor! Just the right amount of heat and sweet! I used half fresh mangoes and half frozen! That what I had! Truly awesome and the “elusive, never to be found, one and ONLY” recipe that you can can into pints, as COVID has made half pint jars as scarce as toilet paper! Thank you for fabulous recipe!
I LOVE this stuff – on salmon, with shrimp, chicken or just right out of the jar. Thank you! Took this to a party and had rave reviews.
Would it be possible to add jalapeno to the recipe or will that ruin it? The men here like a lot of kick!
All these great recipes makes me want to grow more tomatoes. I only have one plant in a container. Thanks, next year I will have to grow more for sure.
This recipe has way too much vinegar. The salsa is not even edible, and I cooked off as much as I could. I recommend doing only 1/4 – 1/2 C apple cider vinegar at most. I want to actually taste mangos, not drink vinegar straight from the bottle.
You are welcome to use less vinegar if eating right away. We do not recommend altering the vinegar amount if you are canning, for safety reasons 🙂
How long is it good for once canned? Would love to try this recipe!
If you re looking for other ways to use this salsa other than as a dip, I also loved eating it with rice and beans or using it as a salad dressing!
I loved the salsa, but it was too spicy for my children. Can I add more Mango and less onion/ginger/garlic?
Do you peel tye mangos?
Yes, peel the mangoes and remove seed.
Haven’t tried it yet…can I substitute jalapeño peppers for red bell peppers?
once this salsa is canned how log is it good for or should i say in what amount of time must it be used
Good looking receipe….am going to make some tomorrow, thanks!
Yay. I made a half recipe because that’s all the stuff I had in the house. I’ll be making this again. I loved it on my pork carnitas I made today. Loved the zip!
It sure is zippy, isn’t it? Glad you loved it! I may have ate it straight from the jar while hiding it from my kids once or twice haha
What’s the shelf life on this canned salsa recipe?
Thanks,
Randi
Can the sugar be reduced? What I’m really asking is if the recipe would still be safe for canning with a lesser amount of sugar?
