Mango puree is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies and sorbets to sauces and marinades. But before you can enjoy the fruity goodness of mango puree, you’ll need to learn how to make it. Don’t worry, it’s easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

First things first, you’ll need some ripe mangos. Don’t be tempted to use unripe mangos, they won’t have that sweet and juicy flavor that makes mango puree so irresistible. Look for mangos that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. If you’re not sure if a mango is ripe, give it a little squeeze. A ripe mango will yield slightly when you press on it gently.

Once you’ve found some ripe mangos, it’s time to get to work. Start by peeling the mangos. This can be a bit tricky, but with a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time. Hold the mango with one hand and use a sharp knife to slice off the skin in a downward motion. Be sure to avoid cutting too deep, you don’t want to lose any of that juicy flesh!

Next, cut off the fruit from the seed. It’s best to use a sharp knife to make clean cuts. The seed is quite tough so it takes a bit of effort, but don’t worry, you’ll get there! Once you’ve cut the fruit from the seed, you can chop it into small pieces.

Now it’s time to puree the mango. You can use a blender, a food processor, or a hand-held immersion blender. If you’re using a blender or food processor, add the chopped mango and blend until smooth. If you’re using a hand-held immersion blender, you can puree the mango right in the bowl you used to chop it.

And that’s it! You now have a delicious mango puree that you can use in all sorts of recipes. You can even freeze it in small batches for later use. Just be sure to let it cool completely before freezing.

Now here’s the fun part, let’s talk about the different ways you can use your homemade mango puree! You can add it to your morning smoothie for a tropical twist, make a sorbet for a refreshing dessert, or even use it as a marinade for your next BBQ. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and have fun with it!

Just a word of caution, don’t get too carried away with the puree making. Trust me, it’s easy to get addicted to the sweet, juicy flavor of mango puree. Before you know it, you’ll have a freezer full of puree and no room for ice cream. But hey, that’s a problem I’m willing to have. Happy puree-making!
