Preparation
- Step 1
Peel the mangoes, cutting deep enough into the fruit so that any green-colored flesh is also removed. Then cutting inward toward the pit, slice each mango into slivers about ½-inch thick. Discard the pits.
- Step 2
In a bowl, combine the mango slivers with the sugar, cognac and lime juice. Serve immediately or, for added flavor, chill before serving for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve in chilled glasses.
Private Notes
Comments
Cubed instead of slivering the ataulfo mangoes. Presidente brandy. Made as directed, but next time will try with half as much sugar and lime juice, plus grated lime zest to keep the lime flavor. Made a couple of hours ahead and served alongside tarta de Santiago, but good on its own the next day too.
