Hi, Suzanne! One question: Do you have a rough measurement for how much mango actually goes in this recipe? I live in South Florida, where it's not only the height of mango season, but we have so many varieties in various sizes available, it's difficult to guess.

That's a fair question RJ Flamingo! I'm not sure is the sad answer. I used fairly large mangos, I can tell you that much. I could have sworn I had that discussion with someone on my blog where I posted the recipe, but I can't find it now - so I must have imagined it. I promise to make this again over the next few days and I'll give you a much more precise answer :-)

My mango trees are dripping with fruit and this is definitely going to get me outta bed to get the fruit rather than letting my chickens have em...this looks great and I have all the ingredients ready to go: do you think Tupelo honey would be a good honey to add? Or agave nectar or brown rice syrup or vermont maple?

I'm so envious of all those mangos. Tupelo honey would be very nice, as would agave nectar. Hope you like it!!

Beautiful recipe, Susan. Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits. (Darn...I'm missing mango season in Maui :) That's a good thing!)

Thanks Mare! We're actually in Maui right now and am eating mangos everyday. And pineapple and papaya

Mango season is when you have to be very careful about where you park your car!

It is creamtea, I must admit. When my husband first tried it, his eyes just lit up and all he could say was MANGO, as if he was saying BINGO! Making it again now that our temps are warming up again.
