Mango recipe?
Comments (24)Hey Carol I have not tried the blueberry banana jam yet, but I am in full blown preserving season. I am not planning on both fixing fresh fruits and making jams through customers like I did last year lol. I also have to empty my three fruit freezers if I am to freeze more stuff this year. On the upside, the weather is nice and cool to make preserves and I can try any fruit combination since I have about 25 different kinds of fruits available. Next two weeks will be devoted to orange marmalade, probably 400 jars of it. It's a good seller but takes a hell of a long time to make. I find strawberries, raspberries and blueberries very assertive. I like the peach raspberry jam I make, and I made the same recipe with peach and blueberry. Not too much sugar either, they are probably the jams I make with the least sugar, but at least, I don't follow recipes with pectin. My rhubarb strawberry jam contains about 85% rhubarb, otherwise you cannot taste the rhubarb for the strawberries. Wonder how banana and bluberries will fare. I am thinking less blueberries, more banana but who knows. I got five cases of bananas last week so I must use them up too, I guess strawberry banana and chocolate banana jams are in order, and they are yummy too. I also make one with apples, banana oranges and lemons, which is pretty good. The more books I look at, the more I read here, the more work I have to do lol. So many recipes, so little time.... Anyway, I will let you know how this mango lime taste like but not today, since I had to go get the limes but we have a storm. Time to go figure out what I did last year when I made mango orange vanilla jam.... have a great day Marie...See MoreCoconut Cream and Lemon Zest - planted
Comments (15)Mangodog - if you were to taste both of these you would know why all the attention. The are couple of the best tasting mangoes around. murahilin - similar genetics but ultimately different plant (if it is a consistent/proven better producer, even though the genetics are similar, same or even close to the same, that would and should be classified as a different cultivar)...hence I believe there will ultimately be a Lemon Zest (will they officially patent it, who knows) and an orange sherbet. Now the question is, if they patent an orange sherbet, do I buy and raise both the lemon zest and orange sherbet...man, I hate these decisions....See MoreMango Opinions
Comments (72)No, it's not dwarf. The only commonly sold mango trees that might fall into that category would be ice cream, pickering, julie, cogshall, and possibly nam doc mai #4. The LZ appears to be a compact grower, but that doesn't mean much. The carrie is also a compact grower, yet my 6-7 year old carrie tree is already approaching 15 feet tall and wide. Vigor also plays a big role. For container culture, one very important characteristic to consider is precocity. A mango tree in a pot that takes several years (and needs a large pot) to produce fruit is really nothing more than a glorified ornamental. I'm really fond of the pickering for it's habit of bringing fruit to maturity in a 3 to 7 gallon pot. The julie is also precocious, but it seems like the julie wants to be in a 15 gal pot before it will bring a fruit to maturity. The julie is also a pain in the neck to care for in a pot where the pickering is bulletproof. Jeff...See MoreLemons, Lemons & MO Lemons!
Comments (11)You don't need to make a simple syrup with water and sugar - you can simply combine the sugar with the lemon juice and add the water later. That makes much better lemonade, and lemon juice dissolves the sugar without any cooking or boiling. This method seems to reduce the acidity of the lemon juice and gives it a very smooth flavor. However, this does not use the lemon zest, but you can save lemon rinds in the freezer for when you make chicken stock. I just got a new Meyer lemon tree, and I have it in a wine barrel planter until I can get my yard ready to plant it in the ground. I think I can leave it in the planter for a couple of years, and I plan to get a lime tree as soon as I find the kind I want. I felt horrible when I left my citrus/fig/mango trees in Venice, but I will replace what I need as soon as possible. Lars...See Morepj1881
