PRESERVE MANGOES? YES, YOU CAN!

Want to preserve some tasty mangoes for another day?

The tropical fruit can be canned or frozen for use later, according to the U.S. National Center for Home Food Preservation.

Here's how:

• Selection: According to Pete Luckett, forget what you've learned about other fruit as "a good mango may be as hard as a turnip or as soft as a ripe avocado. The leathery skin may be thick or thin, smooth and taut or gently wrinkled."

Smell the stem end and avoid those that give off a kerosene aroma as they might be overripe. Choose those that smell sweet.

• Ripening: Under ripe mangoes can be ripened at home out of the fridge and away from direct sunlight.

• Cutting: Hold the mango toward you on its narrow side, and slice down on one side of the seed. Then make a similar cut on the other side. With the two seedless pieces, you can peel them and slice as you like. Or, by holding the mango skin side down, use a knife to score the fruit without going through the skin. Then fold the skin inside out and slice from the skin or serve as is.

• Freezing: Wash, peel and slice. Arrange slices on a flat pan and freeze. Once frozen, store in a plastic freezer bag or sealed containers. Or puree slices in a blender or food processor. Sugar can be added if preferred and then pack into containers and freeze.

• Canning: Pack slices into jars. Cover with a 30% syrup solution. (To ensure proper food safety, use a canning guide).
