Mangoes that refrigerate

[shaneatwell]

I was watching a video this weekend and there was an interesting sidebar about mangoes that refrigerate well. I think it was Dot that supposedly tastes excellent even after 2 months of refrigeration and looking dry and wrinkly. They mention Keitt too. In another thread here bsbullie mentions Mallika dehydrates well, but that wasn't about refrigeration.

So I'm curious what varieties do this? Seems like an easy way to extend mango season.

Pickering and Little Gem both do relatively well in the fridge if close to fully ripe when placed there.

Bleck!

Every refrigerated mango that I've tried sucked to varying degrees. Even Ceci Love, ST, OS, LZ, Dot, ...

Some sucked more, some less than others, but they all sucked nonetheless. Makes me angry just thinking bout it.

If can't eat them ripe: dried, juiced, smoothied, or frozen are the only ways to go.

Oh, and hot sauce or bbq sauce. Whipped some overripe Lil Gems, scotch bonnets, ginger, turmeric, and stuff into a respectable thick tropical sauce.

Haden can be cut up and refrigerated and still taste great (if you like the taste of Haden). They're also great for cooking and making jam and preserves with.

I second Pickering.  Have had them 1 month after and they still tasted good.

Here's something else you can do with mangoes:

Slice the sides and leave a little mango on the skin. Place them on the grill, skin down/mango flesh up. Grill some fish, shrimp, chicken, pork, whatever on top of the mango. You can toss the main dish straight on the grill, and finish it on top of the mangoes. Saw someone doing it with citrus, tried with mango, and it was delicious.

This would still work with a refrigerated mango; would be particularly funky with wild mangoes.

Also with  your refrigerator, chill your blander mangoes in refrigerator before eating.
@Roblack---
Grilling firm mango halves/ leave all skin on them/ should make them sweeter. Sprinkle salt on them before grilling to bring out the mango sweetness. Experimental -- Sprinkle some cayenne on one or two to make a hot/spicy condiment for the grilled meat and chicken.
