I like mango sorbet as the best use of mangoes. I had a mango tree when I lived in Venice (Ca), but I never got huge quantities of mangoes, although the ones I did get were very good. I always got good mangoes in Texas, and the ones I get here are also pretty good.

To make a mango sorbet, all you have to do is cut the frozen mango into cubes, add some sweetener (such as a simple syrup or an artificial sweetener such as Splenda), and process it in a blender. You can add yogurt to that to make a quick frozen yogurt as well, but when adding yogurt, you need to add a bit more sweetener. Actually, you can use some of your jam as a sweetener instead of syrup or Splenda.

Will I get the same effect with an immersion blender? I don't have a standard one. I used the immersion blender to puree the mango when I made the cake. Thanks for the recipe.

Rita, you can get a similar effect with an immersion blender (providing it is powerful enough), but it might take a bit longer, as you would have to make smaller batches.

I don't care for mango all that much, but I used to make a mango chutney that was good, if you like chutney.

I make a mango raita when I make a curry dish, it has cucumbers, onion, red pepper flakes, lime juice, honey and yogurt in it. Very refreshing with a spicy dish. The frozen mango will come in handy for that. That fruit leather with the designs is gorgeous! How do you do that??

Fancy Fruit leather:

1. - Find garage sales or buy cheap eBay, Craigslist, etc. wood carving design. ($16.00)

2. Buy food grade silicone casting rubber (amazon $30). Make mold, 5 minutes.

3. Mold is set in one day. it is high temperature OK. Use that to make leather, chocolate, soap, bread, cookies, candles-------.

You save money not having to buy gifts.

I just made a batch of Mollie Katzen's Black Beans with Mango Sauce last week to take to a picnic where grilled jerk chicken was being served. Sometimes I serve it with white rice.
