Nothing says summer like a tray of juicy mangoes. Go beyond the criss-cross cuts — fold them into ice-cold granitas, sorbets or ice-blocks, pair them with summer fruit for a tropical fruit salad number, or bake them into our mango and passionfruit caramel tart. And it’s not just sweet treats that get the mango treatment — the fruit works sweet-sour wonders in savoury recipes too.
