I have four mangoes...

[ginnyinWI]

What can I do with them besides just eating them fresh? I've heard of mango ice cream--can I just mix ice cream and pureed mangoes to make it? I've got some cookbooks with recipes that use them, but they also call for other ingredients (like a certain kind of plum) that aren't in season right now.

1. Puree them with an equal volume of simple syrup and freeze it till it gets slushy

Voila!

Mango sorbet

2. Hippywife found for me a mango cream pie, and it is really delicious.

It uses some mango nectar as well as fresh mango, though. I found that in the ethnic foods aisle at Safeway.

3. Mango salsa

1 mango, chopped fine
2 minced jalapeno peppers
2 minced serrano peppers
juice of one lime
Half a red onion, minced (optional, I leave it out)

Use with grilled/broiled chicken, fish or pork. Or grilled tofu.

The combination of hot and sweet is nothing short of amazing.

4. This salsa is my favorite for topping grilled salmon

I use green onion but always keep red onion in the house and will try it next time.

11. Cook up a spicy halibut

And then lay pieces into a corn tortilla, put mango salsa on top. YUM! I usually put a little cilantro in the salsa, along with the ingredients you've got. I Love It! I hate that I didn't discover it years ago.

5. I love apricot-mango yogurt

Could you do apricot-mango dessert? I love that flavor combination for some reason.

8. This morning I took one mango,

peeled and chopped it into chunks and put in the blender with a cup of plain yogurt (I make my own). Made four half-cup servings. Needed a bit of sugar--so I stirred about a half teaspoon into mine. Good--and healthy too.

9. Mango chutney

http://www.bigoven.com/161236-Mango-Chutney-recipe.html

Ingredients2 pounds mangoes - peeled and chopped
4 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
2 cloves garlic mashed
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 medium cinnamon sticks
3/4 cup raisins - chopped
2/3 cup dates - pitted, chopped

InstructionsChop mangoes into medium pieces. Place in a large bowl, add salt and water and let stand overnight.

Drain mangoes, reserving the soaking liquid. Combine sugar and vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Add mango, stirring to coat all pieces. Add ginger, garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, raisins and dates. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook for about 1 hour or until very thick .

Remove from heat and let cool. Remove cinnamon sticks and place chutney into a sealable container. Allow to stand in a cool place for flavor to develop then close. Store in refrigerator.

Alternatively you can seal the jars hot using conventional canning techniques and observing precautions to prevent spoilage.

10. I think I would halve this recipe.

I actually have all the ingredients on hand. Well, the fresh ginger is in the freezer, but.

[ginnyinWI]

12. what do you do with the soaking liquid?

You didn't get back to that. :hi:

[livetohike]

13. I just add it as needed while cooking the chutney

If you can keep the flame steady you shouldn't need to add any liquid :hi:.

I love mangoes :-).

15. Mango daiquiris.

16. Mango cole slaw...

it's like apple cole slaw, but with mangos.

Take your favorite slaw recipe, or even a bowl of deli slaw, and finely slice or chop the mangos and stir them in.
