Hi, I bought 3 mangoes for £1 but I only know that you can eat them in fruit salads. What else can I do with them?

I did nightshade's thing with the roasting and the cinnamon and the sugar. It was pretty yum - but then I'd eat just about anything if it was covered in marscapone.

Why isn't anyone asking me about my best ever mango recipe? It's for mango, green tea and lime sorbet.

fedda · 28/08/2007 21:18

Has anyone been aware that there is a special section for jokes on mumsnet where people would really appreciate their humour?

beansprout · 28/08/2007 21:19

I was aware but have decided that I am just way too funny to confine myself to one section of MN.

MyTwopenceworth · 28/08/2007 21:20

Yeah, ta for the tip. We pretty much post where we like, this being a public forum and all.

fedda · 28/08/2007 21:21

Sure, you do that.

It's an American recipe so it uses cups

Ingredients
2/3 cup water
good quality green teabag or loose green tea leaves (I use Clearspring organic sencha)
1/2 cup sugar (I usually use fructose)
3 ripe mangoes
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions
Boil kettle and make green tea, allow to steep for 5 mins or so. Pour tea into saucepan, add sugar and bring to a boil. Boil until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool about 30 minutes.

Peel mangoes and cut fruit from pit. (I cut the flesh off either side of the stone without peeling. Then score a grid in each cut piece almost through to the skin, then push it inside out and remove the cubes.) In a food processor or blender, puree mangoes with lime juice. Add tea and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass 9-inch baking dish and freeze about 3 hours.

Transfer mango mixture to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve at once or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Soften 10 minutes before serving.

All the quantities are approximate, it won't matter much if you use more or less of anything so adjust it to your taste.

blimey she only suggested juggling them.

beansprout · 28/08/2007 21:24

littlelapin - I'm veggie, so could I make that without the chicken?

Desiderata · 28/08/2007 21:25

Any how, mangoes taste like ear wax.

That's why you can get three for a pound
