Mangoes...Unripe

[deponti]

One of the pleasures of the summer is certainly....mangoes! From the most unripe to the most ripe, we can enjoy mangoes in a variety of ways...and with unripe mangoes, we can make a variety of pickles

I think it was that last one that Nina and I both enjoyed so much.

Oh, yes...but that was store-bought (though it was made in the Andhra region...and excellent, too!).

I do like magoes "as is" but your mango pickles look SO GOOD!

[deponti]

Well...raw mangoes are too sour to be eaten as is....they at least need to be dipped in salt. It's ripe mangoes that I, too, can't bear to turn into juices and desserts, when they are wonderful as they are!

Yes, my pickles are my strong point in the kitchen :)

[pondhopper]

Yes, I meant ripe mangoes. I love those!

Mangoes, Yes!!! My mouth waters! I miss summers with mangoes, so much!

Yummy looking pickles!

last year, and the year before that, I too missed the mangoes a lot :)

These make my mouth water! So delicious seeming.

I picked up a recipe for a mango salsa and made it the other day with a rather unripe mango. Meanwhile, another mango is ripening--I will try the salsa again (it was good with the unripe mango, but I think it will be better with a ripe one).

Oh, I didn't know salsa was made with mangoes, too. We have some preparations that we make with semi-ripe mangoes (eg mango chutney).
