Pickled Mangoes with a delicious medley of sweet and sour flavors are a mouthwatering treat you'll love. They make a great snack or appetizer as well as a condiment to barbecue meats and grilled seafood!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

G and I moved from Southern California to Central Texas last December; honestly, it was a decision we didn't think of or plan enough. It was like we woke up one day and said to ourselves, \"we're moving to the Hill Country,\" and packed our bags right there and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything happened quickly; I don't think the process has been seamless. Three months in, and we still need to drive back and forth between the two states for another few months to get fully situated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are happy about this significant change in our lives and feel it's for the best, but we're, understandably, a bit overwhelmed. And when I'm stressed, I cook! To escape the mountain of boxes needing unpacking, I spent a whole day last week making chicharon<\/a>, guava jam, and pickled mangoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might have ended with more mess to deal with after I finished, but cooking was precisely what I needed for my mental health. \ud83d\ude42 Not only did being in the kitchen help me relax and unwind, but I am also now well-stocked with delicious goodies to enjoy for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pickling Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pickling is an age-old food preservation technique that extends the lifespan of perishables such as meat, eggs, fish, vegetables, and fruits by soaking them in solutions that inhibit bacteria growth and retard spoilage. The process is done either by fermentation in a salt brine or immersion in an acidic medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe below uses the second method, which preserves the fruit in a vinegar, sugar, and salt mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type of Mango to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you can pickle almost any variety,  I find green and unripe Manila or carabao mangoes yield the best results. Their flesh is not fibrous and has a crisper texture and good sour flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Philippines, the classic burong mangga is made of very young chupaderas or supsupin mangoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in the U.S. and don't have access to these local mangoes, Kents, Hadens, and the Mexican Ataulfo, a cultivar of our Philippine mango, are also great options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
