How to choose good crispy young mangoes
- To make delicious pickled mango, you should choose mangoes that are not too big, still young, with a round waist that gradually tapers towards the tail.
- Good mangoes will have a skin that is not too dark nor too light. The stem should still be fresh, and especially if it still has sap, it means the mango is fresh, just harvested.
- Avoid buying mangoes that show signs of pests, with green skins but soft; these may be fallen fruits due to pests.

Prepare ingredients
For the mango, wash it thoroughly, then use a knife to cut off the ends and peel it clean. After that, rinse the mango again to remove the sap and let it dry completely.
Next, prepare a bowl of slightly salty diluted saltwater. Cut the mango into small pieces that are easy to eat. To prevent the mango from browning, you should soak it in the saltwater as you peel it.
After cutting, rinse the mango once more with clean water to reduce the saltiness and let it drain.
Then, prepare a large pot of boiling water and a clean bowl filled with ice water. When the water is boiling, briefly blanch the cut mango pieces for about 1 – 2 minutes and quickly transfer them to the prepared ice water bowl.
Note: You should not blanch the mango for too long in hot water, as it will become mushy and won’t be crunchy or delicious when pickled.Soak the mango in the ice water for about 15 minutes. Throughout the soaking process, add more ice to maintain the cold temperature. After 15 minutes of soaking, take the mango out and let it drain.

Pickled Mango
The ratio to make a delicious pickled mango dish is 1kg of mango, 500gr of yellow sugar, and 2 chili peppers.
First, boil 500ml of water with 500gr of yellow sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cook over medium heat until you see the sugar mixture boiling again, then turn off the heat and let this mixture cool.
Next, arrange the prepared mango and chili in the jar you have prepared earlier. If you don’t like spicy food, you don’t need to add chili.
When the sugar mixture has cooled, pour it over the mango in the jar and seal it tightly, leaving it outside for 3 hours before placing it in the fridge refrigerator. The sweet and sour pickled mango will gradually absorb the flavors, and after 1 day, it can be enjoyed.
