Prepare your canning jars according to standard canning procedures.
In a large pot, combine 3 cups of diced mango, 2-3 minced habanero peppers (depending on your heat preference), 5 cups of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the fruit is soft.
Stir in 1 pouch of liquid pectin and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, return to a boil, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Remove the pot from heat. Skim off any foam that forms on top.
Ladle the hot jelly into prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Clean the rims of the jars before applying the lids.
Seal and process the jars in a water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Remove jars and let them cool on a towel-lined counter until fully set and cooled. Check seals and store in a cool, dark place.
