    1. [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Freezing Mangoes / Peaches
    2. Moira Breen
    3. Hi Listers: Someone asked how to freeze mangoes. Unfortunately the mangoes found in our grocery stores in North America are so far removed from the mangoes of my childhood in India that they are not worth eating or freezing but I will give you the procedure for freezing Michigan peaches (which are delicious) and you can apply this to mangoes. Drop peaches in a pan of boiling water for about 30 seconds. Peel. Remove from seed. Quarter. Put in plastic bag and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to a cup of fruit to prevent browning. Mix. Place in freezer. Instead of lemon juice you may add 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which in the US is sold under the brand name of "Fruit Fresh" or you may use citric acid if available. Of course mangoes do not need to be put in boiling water to peel. Moira Breen USA
