Hi everyone,
I am looking for some yummy mango recipes...mango sorbet, mango ice cream, mango jam etc. We can buy a tray of delicious ripe mangoes for $10 and I want to make use of them. ;)
-
Try going to desserts and other sections and do a search for mango. There are heaps of things there.
-
Thanks Cookie. Just getting used to the forum and where to find things. Didn't know you could search for an ingredient. Yeah...found heaps!
-
Still paying almost $3 a mango here. And my parents own a mango farm - just too far away to get any.
-
Feeling your pain Twitterpated!
My parents are surrounded by them but I live too far away!! :(
-
Drooling at the thought of mangoes for that price!!!!
Being a QLD girl, mangoes are such a lovely childhood memory for me but at $5 per mango here not to mention adding huge amounts to my carbonl footprint, not too many memories being relived! :'(
-
We live on the Gold Coast and have lots of mangoes for really cheap everywhere atm.
-
I remember 29 years ago while pregnant with DD # 1 i really really wanted a mango, poor DH drove around and around until he found one. The price for 1 only was $ 3.98 :o
-
Wow...so expensive Uni. We can buy 18 for $10!!
-
the best price so far that i have seen is 3 for $5
in a few weeks times at the market they will be $ 5 a tray
-
LOL Uni, when I was pregnant with my eldest in July I had major mango cravings. We lived in FNQ but it took a friend in Karumba in the gulf to send me a whole case load via bus as there were none on the local trees at that point. Thankfully they didn't cost me anything! :D
-
just imagine that........news flash...............lady in FNQ pays $500.00 for 1 mango

Sorry, I wasn't very clear with my chat on mangoes. I 'was' a QLD girl growing up but am on the other side of the ditch now......
oh well, my consolation is that I got some beautiful big punnets of berries today! yum!!
I have seen some Equador mangoes here but that is just so wrong on so many levels for me!
I caved one year and bought one and it was foul! aggghhhh!! Give me a NQ mango!
-
Do you live in Equador, Taro? I am hoping to make some central american meals as DH is from Guatemala.
-
They got down to 6 for $1 at the Mexican market last summer and I made mango bread with them. It was the best quick bread I had ever made. When they are back in season, I'll be making more.
-

Hi - found this on the net but haven't tried it. . . . sounds interesting and will try it when we get our mango box later. (It's an American recipe so don't forget to convert oven temps etc. ;) I'm still a comparative newbie - I'd really appreciate it if some kind soul could suggest how this would go in the TMX?? :)

I will be happy to share. Except I'm at work and it's at home. I will try to remember to bring it in with me tomorrow morning. The mangoes give it a wonderful flavor, the crust comes out nice and dark, and the acid in the mango makes the baking soda work very well so it comes out quite light as far as quick breads go.

:) We are getting bowen mangoes at 50 c
last week we got about 50-60 organic bowen mangoes for $10
Straight off the farms.
Lucky my husband drives around alot each day, and stops at roadside stalls.
Although most farms up here know us well. I support the farmers, and they support us.

I paid $20 for a tray of R2E2 mangoes the other day. They are lovely and sweet but I am little disappointed in the taste. I'm not that really concerned though as I love mangoes in all shapes, forms and tastes. ;)
-
I too have found disappointment in some mangoes I've bought. Those in the know - which mangoes are the best for full on taste and sweetness.
-
The R2E2 are a waste of space but they are pretty. Probably ok for jam but not much else.

I'm told that Calypso are the best but I think it all comes down to taste and what you are looking for in a mango. Some of the nicest I have had were green ones in Thailand.
-
Yay, I have a Calypso in my fruit bowl ;D
-
We had a tray of R2E2 last time we were in Queensland and they were lovely. But not this time. I like the good old Kensington Pride mangoes. Full of flavour and strings. Thanks for the hint Gertbysea. They may disappear into jam.
-
Just learned today that Calypso mangoes are genetically modified and that a certain large grocery chain has refused to buy the fruit from Queensland "because they get spots" and now will only get in the Calypsos that are grown in the Northern Territory. Qld farmers trucked their produce down to the Sydney markets only to have huge amounts go bad and needing to be thrown out. This horrifies me!
-
:) Goldfish, thats why I support the farmers direct, and not the big supermarkets.
We rely on Our local farmers to keep my family and 90% of our income, so I support them as much as possible.
Stop at the roadside stalls if you can.
