Mango and Papaya !

[Kleftiwallah]

Checked the recipe list but no joy. Mangos and Papaya are 'cheap as chips' down the vegetable market at present. Anyone got a suitable recipe using the fruit and not canned or juice? Cheers and thanks in advance. Tony.

I have never used either fruit but what I do know is that the larger the fruit the more pounds you want to use per gallon of wine so my suggestion to you is find a Peach recipe and adjust to your fruit
