Sorry for the stupid question, I am from the metric world and I just can't make any sense of the initial ratios.
The recipe says:
As I understand:
I also tried to take into account the pulp too. 30 oz mango pulp = 850 gram. I checked my can and it says 20 gram sugar / 100 gram product, so the 30 oz can has around 170 gram of sugar = ~0.85 pounds. There is probably fiber and other stuff in there, plus water. For the worst case, if I assume that everything else is just water, it would mean that the can has:

The recipe says:
8 cups water
30 oz can of Mango Pulp*
6 cups white sugar
30 oz can of Mango Pulp*
6 cups white sugar
As I understand:
- 8 cups water = 0.5 gallons = ~1.9 liter
- 6 cups white sugar = 1200 gram of sugar = ~2.66 pounds

For the worst case, if I assume that everything else is just water, it would mean that the can has:
- 0.85 pounds of sugar
- 2.87 cups of water (850g - 170g = 680g water = 680ml water = 2.87 cups)
- 10.87 cups water = ~0.68 gallon water
- 3.51 pounds sugar (2.66 + 0.85)
- SG 1.237
