Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the perfect mango puree involves a few simple steps, but attention to detail can make all the difference. Here’s a comprehensive guide:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Peel the mangoes and remove the pits. Dice the mango flesh into small chunks.
   • Measure out 1-2 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey if using.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
   • Add the diced mangoes to a blender or food processor.
   • If desired, add water to achieve the desired consistency. This is optional and can help if the mangoes are not very juicy.
   • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and no chunks remain. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
3. Check the Consistency:
   • If the puree is too thick, add a bit more water and blend again.
   • If it’s too thin, you can blend in more mango chunks to thicken it up.
4. Strain (Optional):
   • For an extra smooth puree, pass the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or sieve to remove any fibrous parts.
5. Add Sweeteners and Flavorings:
   • If desired, stir in lemon juice and sweetener to taste. Blend again if necessary.
6. Store:
   • Transfer the mango puree to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
