Continue boiling until fine, soft threads form, 270 degrees F (135 degrees C). Stir in the mango pulp, add the saffron threads, if desired, and boil until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

• Pour peach-mango mixture into a bowl and measure 5 1/4 cups back into the pan. For a thicker mixture, use only 5 cups. Add sugar to the pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for 1 minute; immediately remove from heat.
• Pour preserves into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large canning pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
