This recipe gave so much joy as a child growing up in Trinidad. We would have every version of Mango we gould in general doing every possible cooking technique on them as they were plentiful and cheap! This Candied Red Mango was a FAVE though, no matter the source of the treat, everybody's grandmother or auntie would make the yummiest version of this dessert that would make your tastebuds do a happy little jig!
