Notes
How to tell if a mango is ripe: You'll want to make sure you have ripe mangoes for this recipe, otherwise, they will not puree properly or be as sweet. Follow these simple steps below:
Gently squeeze the mango to check if it’s ripe. It should not be slightly firm, but ‘give’ a little when gently pressed, similar to a peach or avocado.
If the mango is ripe, you’ll be able to smell it by sniffing near the stem end to see if it smells sweet and fruity.
To ripen a mango quickly, store it on the counter in the fruit bowl or in a paper bag, with a few bananas.
Once ripe, store mangoes in the fridge to slow down the ripening process.
