Mango Season!

It has been the dryest dry season on record in Trinidad since 1947, but I'm hoping for a bumper mango year. Here's a frosty recipe my children adore. They even 'steal' it out of the freezer. Warning this snack can get a little messy but it's oh so tasty!

Mango Ice

6-7 large ripe to over-ripe July (or other sweet) Mangoes
1 tsp white sugar (opt)
Water enough to thin mixture slightly
2x ice trays

Method: By hand, peel and remove all 'mango meat' into a bowl, add sugar and water. Stir and mash the thick pieces slightly. Add enough water to make the mixture easy to pour or spoon into ice tray.

Freeze and serve as cubes

Tip: Cover trays with a plastic food bag so the ice doesn't dry out in the freezer.
