One of my absolute favorite thing about summer is fruit. I love ALL summer fruits- Mango, strawberries, pineapple, cherries and the list goes on. This past weekend, I went to the farmers market to pick up a few things, and I noticed they had a box of 9 ‘ripe’ mangoes for 4.00. It doesn’t take long to do the math to find out this is a fantastic price, and since they had some sliced and were allowing for samples- I grabbed a sample, and then chose the box with the mangoes that all felt perfect, and I bought them.
I brought them home- used my mango pitter tool, and within 15 minutes I had them peeled, chopped and portioned into 2 cup portions in freezer bags. Delish!
I mentioned it on Facebook, and a friend that I grew up with, mentioned that she has a recipe for ‘mango bread’ that she got when she lived in Cuba with her husband, (who is now retired Navy). I asked if she was wiling to share the recipe, and this morning she sent it to me.
Needless to say- I am itching to get back to the market this weekend to grab some more- so I can make some of this bread. It sounds too good to pass up.
I’ll be sure to share a photo when I make it- which will probably be sooner rather than later. I may not be able to wait and end up pulling it out of the freezer and making some puree and going with that. I can almost taste this bread- Summer bites of happiness.
