All of the mango trees in the area are loaded with ripening mangos. Our neighbor brought us a bag full. Small but really sweet and juicy. Ana decided
to try a new recipe and made 2 Mango Up-side-Down Cakes. 1 for the neighbor and 1 for us.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I've decided to put off starting the diet until tomorrow.

A great way to preserve them through the year is to make a chutney.
Use it to top fish, chicken or meat, poured over brie or cream cheese, as sandwich topping, as a side dish with curry, etc..
Maybe your next party can have a Mango theme ?
Pot luck - anything made with Mango !
Here is one sample recipe for peach/mango chutney.
INGREDIENTS
4 pounds sliced peeled peaches
1 cup raisins (we use white)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
5 ounces chopped preserved ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon curry powder
4 cups packed brown sugar
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup pickling spice
1/2 cup coarse chopped almonds
DIRECTIONS
In a large heavy pot, stir together the peaches, raisins, garlic, onion, preserved ginger, chili powder, mustard seed, curry powder, brown sugar and
cider vinegar. Wrap the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag, and place in the pot.
Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat uncovered until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 hour to get a good thick
sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
Remove the spice bag, and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely
simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.Diver - 5-20-2008 at 03:52 PM

A while back a woman told me "David tu cres que eres la ultima chupada del mango." Loosely translated it means "David you think you are all that and a
bag of chips with a coke."
