My neighbour Mango's tree
There are so many variety of mangoes, I think that I've eaten more than 12 varieties of it in my lifetime which I can't say which variety is it, LOL. I read from this post but it is in Bahasa Indonesia and This Post in English (but not too complete) because we have local mangoes too. I don't even know the names of 2 mangoes we have in my parent's house but it's the best mangoes in the world because you can see its grow and bear fruits then pick it up when its ripe.
But I'mnot living with my Parent anymore, now. But I have many good neighbours who will share their harvested fruits to us. A Neighbour had borrowed our fruit's pole two days ago and when he returned the pole he gaves us mangoes, Cengkir Indramayu Mango, a local mango which has a sweet and crunchy meat when its half ripe.
I got six mangoes and a new knife
I think I remember why I get used to mangoes since I was a kid, I lived in an Mango Alley (Lorong Mangga) named of the street where my parent's house is. Every house in the alley has at least one mango tree in their front yard, and not a single tree was a similiar variety of mango. When I was in University, I lived in a house which has 2 mango trees and become my source of food when my parent's a bit late to send the living cost or allowance for me. I made pickles, salsa or just had the mangoes for a week and I survived (couldn't sell any because it's not my tree, I can eat the whole fruits but never sold it). The sour taste mangoes better make as pickle or Fruit's Salad we call Rujak with peanut based dressing.
This time I'm just gonna make a Hot Mango Salsa for myself (Hubby doesn't likes Mango Salsa, He Prefers Mango Juice and ripe mangoes).
it is crunchy and sweet
Hot Mango Salsa
Here is the process
All you need are;
3 mangoes (half ripe)
1 tsp sea salt (more salt if it is sour taste mangoes)
2 cayenne pepper (you can add more if you like hottest taste)
5 tsp cane sugar (add more if you like)
1 tsp lemon juice (if you like a fresh taste)
How to;
- Peel the mangoes and slice it according to your taste, I used to chop it into a small pieces but I didn't do it this time (because it taste sweet)
- slice the cayenne pepper (don't remove the seeds)
- add the sea salt and slice cayenne to the mangoes
- add the sugar and mix it well
- let it for 30 minutes (don't put it in the fridge)
- mix it again after 30 minutes and you'll see the juice
- if you don't want to it at the time, keep it in the fridge and it can be mango pickles after 2 days.
