Baby mangoes

Mango trees appear to be quite abundant in Panama, and we happen to have a large one in our front yard. While we are happy about this, some people find this an immense nuisance, as the amount of mangoes that a typical tree produces is quite amazing. If you picture the branch above, all throughout the tree, you can just imagine. It is difficult to retrieve all the fruit as it ripens and falls. You have to beat the ants and the birds to the fallen mangoes, but I’m hoping we can pluck them from the tree. I will need to begin to  Google some recipes very soon, as it appears we are going to have a ton of mangoes in a month or two! Mango smoothies, mango jam, mango ice cream….yum!
