You can use diced mango directly from the can. Drain the juice if you prefer a less sweet result, or incorporate the juice into your recipe for added flavor. It works well stirred into pancake batter, folded into muffin mixes, or added to a quick bread dough. For savory dishes, it can be mixed into a fresh salsa with onions, cilantro, and lime, or used as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. Its natural sweetness complements spicy and tangy flavors.
