Quick Mango Miscut Pickle

This recipe of Quick Mango Miscut Pickle takes out all the pain and wait that goes into making a Gon Miscut Pickle. You can consume the pickle as soon as you make it. The pickle keeps well until the next mango season too – although mine never lasts that long – cause my boys enjoy it (read note below). Also, visiting relatives always want some to carry back home 🙂

    • Mango pieces (just like other raw food) are dried to reduce their moisture and hence to preserve them longer. However, besides drying a variety of other items like salt, sugar, vinegar, oil, aid in preservation.
