Re: uses for mango (and other fruit), Wee, and

all

 

 

Wee, when I used dairy, I tried yogurt once in my ice cream maker, and was

disappointed in the sourness of it, probably needed much more sugar. I tend

to go light handed on the stuff.

 

But, I *have* used mango (and/or other fruit as well - pineapple,

blueberries, raspberries, etc) mixed with apple juice (no added sugar

needed!), and put in ice cream maker, to make sorbet. I do some sort of

fruit this way, almost daily. YUM! if you use " seed in " fruit

(raspberries, blackberries, kiwi) then don't blend too much, just pulse and

leave chunky, else the seeds get a bit overwhelming. Or if you have a juice

extractor (I used to) you can separate out the seeds from those, if you

prefer. A mix is good, like pineapple well blended, then add blueberries

for a quick pulse. awesome mix!

 

This gets rather hard if stored in the freezer after making. So, sometimes

I will freeze leftovers in ice cube trays, and store the loose cubes in

zip-lock baggies. Then I can throw the cubes back into the blender with a

touch of apple juice. This is often thick enough to eat right out of the

blender, but can be put back into ice cream maker, if too loose. Great way

to have fruit once out of season (Blend and store up in cubes, while

plentiful)!

 

I am with Donna on " Experiment! " ...have fun in the kitchen, folks!
