What do you mean by until liquids burst?
Hi Deb, that should have read ‘until the fruits burst’. Have changed, thanks!
Yummy! Super refreshing and delicious, I will be making this again in the future. I used frozen mango and it turned out great. Thanks for the new recipe!
Thank you too Maddi! Really glad you enjoyed it. I often use frozen mango too, I can’t always get fresh reliably here 🙂
