Estimated. Worked out from the ingredients using the UK food composition tables, so treat it as a guide rather than a measurement. A typical recipe lands within about a quarter of the true figure. Makes about 4.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen mango chunks
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2–3 tbsp water or coconut water
  • Optional: 1 tbsp honey

Cooking Steps

  1. Blend the frozen mango with lime juice and a splash of water until smooth.

  2. Add honey only if the mango isn't sweet enough.

  3. Serve as soft sorbet, or freeze 1 hour for scoops.

  4. Garnish with mint.

Optional Enhancements

  • Pineapple or peach instead of mango
  • Add fresh ginger for zing
  • Coconut water for a tropical note

Plant & Growing Tips

Mangoes

  • Grow in full sun in a warm, frost-free climate, or in a large container that can be moved indoors during cold periods.
  • Ensure well-draining soil and consistent watering during flowering and fruiting.
  • Protect young trees from strong winds.

Limes

  • Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage, or in a large pot for easier winter protection in cooler zones.
  • Water deeply when the top few inches of soil are dry, avoiding waterlogging.
  • Feed with a balanced citrus fertilizer during the growing season.

Natural Pest Control

  • Aphids: Blast aphids off young growth with a strong spray of water or introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs.
  • Scale insects: Treat scale insects with horticultural oil or neem oil spray, ensuring full coverage of affected areas.
  • Citrus leaf miner: Protect new growth by spraying with horticultural oil every 7-10 days during flush periods.
  • Fruit flies: Use sticky traps or cover ripening fruit with fine mesh bags to prevent egg-laying.

Harvest

Mangoes

  • Harvest when the skin color changes (specific to variety) and the fruit yields slightly to gentle pressure, often accompanied by a strong aroma.

Limes

  • Pick when the fruit is firm, glossy, and fully green; leaving them too long on the tree may cause them to turn yellow and become less acidic.

Storing & Freezing

Freeze up to 1 month.
