Mangoes have joined apricots and cherries as seasonal favorites of our kids. They are fabulous when they are soft and ripe. I learned a trick about cutting them that saves a lot of grief. First, stand them on their side so they are sitting on their edge. Then cut down the from the top, almost half way in from the side,  so that the knife slides right along the side of the seed. Do the same on the other side of the seed. Now you will have two nice big pieces. Turn the mango and cut the two remaining sections away from the seed. Now everything will be easy to peel or cut cubes from now and they don’t fall apart as easily. Enjoy!
