Before we moved to Nassau, I read a book called An Embarrassment of Mangoes. It was about a couple who traveled around the Caribbean on a boat for quite some time (it was at least a year, I think). Anyway, they got to one point in the year and talked about how there were mangoes everywhere. Well, we are to that point in the year here. There are three mango trees in our yard and they are all covered in fruit.
This is just what I cut up and froze yesterday. Earlier in the week, I had cut up four which I promptly turned into sorbet. Really, really good sorbet. And this morning there were two more ready to be cut and frozen. Now I’m looking for a good chutney or salsa recipe.
And by the looks of things, we will have an embarrassment of bananas next:
-
Wish you were close enough to share. In fact I could trade fruit for cucumbers!
-
I have nothing to offer in trade, but I could really go for some mango sorbet right now.
-
Yum, mangoes! Wish I was there to enjoy some of your sorbet!
