    SOOO many Mangos....any great mango recipes??

    We have a HUGE mango tree in our garden and i have about 30 mangos on my kitchen table all about 2 days off being ripe to eat!!! and bout another 50 on the tree which i might try and rescue some of from the bats before they all go!!

    BUT....what do i do with them all!?!?!?!? So far i have made mango muffins (some in the freezer) Mango ice pops. We have had mango salsa with prawns and mango pancakes for breakfast, Luckily DD loves them but how many can you really eat!!

    Im going to make a chutney but i seams you only need on or two for the recipe ive got...any great mango chutney recipes?? or anything else that i can do with them so i dont have to gorge on them all now!

    TIA

    Lol I say gorge on them!!!

    What about some sort of mango cheesecake? I wonder if you could cut them up and freeze in portions? Maybe they wouldn't defrost so well to eat on their own but you could have them in yoghurt, with icecream and in other recipes?

    Like Jas said, I'd cut up the excess and freeze them in smaller portions (even in ice cube trays and then in the zip lock bags once they're frozen). Then you can enjoy them in various ways year-round. Yummy! I love mangos!

    yup, i agree, cut them up and freeze them. I buy mango cheeks frozen from our greengrocer.

    You could also vitamise them, and freeze them into icypoles. My daughter loves chewing on frozen mango. Can i just add........ i am SO jealous!!!
