Mango Pickle

Let me just get this entry done cox it's so overdue. I'm suppose to have this posted last 2 weeks. I'm so freaking lazy nowadays. Gotta fix that. TV dramas often associate pregnancy with pickle. I don't know how true is that la but since small I've love pickle that Popo made. When people mention pickle right, we imagine that all pickle are sour-ish but Popo's version is the sweet version. And she only use this very one type of mango which is 'pauh ringan' to do it and it need to be UNRIPE mangoes.

 

Ingredients:

• Coarse salt
• 'Pauh ringan' mango
• Sugar

Method:
 

1. Prepare a bucket that is big enough for the mangoes. Fill the bucket with water and coarse salt. (Remember: the salter the water is, the faster is the process.)

2. Clean the mangoes and insert in into the bucket.

3. Observe everyday until the mangoes changes color to light green.

 

From dark to light green

 



This is ready to be peel off

 

4. When it's ready, soaked the mangoes in water for 6 hours to remove the salt in the mangoes.

5. Peel the mangoes skin off and cut it into smaller pieces.

 

 

Cut through the middle, into the seed

 

6. After cutting the mangoes, soaked them again in water for at least 6 hours more.

7. Drain the excess water.

8. After that, put the mangoes into a container together with sugar. Keep them refrigerated. The sugar will dissolve into the mangoes itself.

9. After almost an hour or two, you can serve!

 

Keep noted that my Popo's recipe is 50 mangoes to 1 kg of coarse sugar. So adjust your sugar measurement to your mangoes.

 

Yummy especially when it's cold!!
