Mango Season is Here
Many of us are trying to eat more locally grown food provided from our local farmers markets. There's something special, though, about indulging in tropical fruits when they are in their peak season. Mango season has begun and will continue to flourish in May and June. We won't find these fibrous, slightly tart, juicy fruits locally grown nearby unless we live in Florida. Mangoes are mostly grown in India, the Caribbean, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Mexico. The perfect ripe mango is soft, and slightly gives when gently squeezed, just like an avocado, not mushy.
As Jill Bradley, the protagonist in 'I Know You're There', discovers they are delectable in Mango Coladas. Simply peal the skin and slice the fruit from the pit, blend with rum and a few other tropical ingredients and Ahh…you are transported to a tropical resort. This 5-star mango colada recipe will be a hit at your next spring or early summer event:

Cheers!
