I haven’t ever tried the white peaches. I can’t quite get over the fact that peaches are supposed to be peach-colored. [And I prefer nectarines, anyway.] Though I don’t seem to have any problem with those little purple potatoes from Peru…

Give me a mango and I’m happy! You are fortunate to have so many choices in fruits and vegetables. Fresh choices are limited in Vermont

The first time I tasted a mango was in Sweden of all places but it was a fresh mango homegrown in India and smuggled back carefully wrapped in carry-on luggage on a long haul flight. What a delicious taste! Oh, if only all mangoes could be shipped so ripe. Of course I know that isn’t possible.

I’m just not a mango fan, despite loving most fresh fruit. You make it sound so tempting though…

I like your cheerleading tower! I used to make Pomegrante jelly every year at about this time. Now I think 1. What a huge amount of time. 2. No one to eat it up anymore.

Another (easy) option is to chop the mangoes into chunks and freeze them. Throw them into the blender while making those smoothies. MMmh, good. I love white peaches, too, but they are hard to find, easily bruised and easily spoiled. They do make a fabulous sorbet though–pink colored! That reminds me, what about mango ice? A mango sorbet sounds good to me…

Sounds good, Joanne! Channon, my mother-in-law didn’t like mangoes either, till she was here one time and I asked her to just try one, a champagne if I remember right. You should have seen her! She thought mangoes were supposed to be stringy and fairly tasteless, and this was smooth and intensely flavored. Good stuff.

Mmmm…. Mangoes… (love them fresh with lime juice, too 🙂 )
