Mango Bread~~
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups chopped mangoes
(I use the Del Monte mangoes in the jar
because they are always so fresh and juicy)
~
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup golden raisins
(going to be honest here - I use way more! I usually use almost a whole cup)
~
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
~~~
Beat eggs,oil, and sugar. Mix in spices, vanilla, and lemon juice. Alternately add flour, mixing until well blended. (Mixture will be thick - I usually do this by hand.)
Add raisins and well drained mangoes. Pour into loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
~~~
For me - this recipe seems to make enough for the one loaf pan and for about 2 muffins which I bake in little pudding cups - (I think this is because I add the extra raisins - oh well!)
~~~
I am sure that using fresh mangoes is probably just as good - I am just hooked on the ones in the jar!
Enjoy! Don't blame me when you can't stop eating this bread!

We are just back from our trip to Asheville, Black Mountain, the Biltmore, and lots more! (The rose garden at the Biltmore was stunning!) (My nests look adorable in their new home!) (We found some wonderful new places in Asheville!) (And - we attended the most charming Repertory Theater in Mars Hill!)
~~~
We went non stop for 3 days and I have lots of pictures and stories to share with you. Just need a few days to process it all (and I do have a job you know - so have to find time to work also!)

Ohhhhhh sounds wonderful! Next time I don an apron, I'll have to try this!!!
You often say you don't know how I have so much energy....well living alone and only cooking once a week for son Andrew leaves a lot of time for crafting!
I LOVE to cook/bake,,,but don't for just me. Unless I have guests I keep it simple!!!
Hope you are getting a bit of extra time off to enjoy the long weekend. I've been working and will tomorrow, but just as well as it is so SOGGY here there isn't much going on out of doors!!!
Always love to hear from you my dear Vicki,,,love having you in my "life" albeit through our blogs!
Hugs, kisses and love to you and yours!

As I don't like mango, do you think pineapple would be OK as a substitute? I even lived in the tropics for 14 years but never grew to like this particular tropical fruit.
Mangoes are very popular on this side of the world. My husband just came home with a big carton of them yesterday and between him and my youngest son, they are half gone. Only mangoes I would find in a jar would be Indian mango chutny. Mmmm -- wonder what that would taste like??? While I have mangoes on hand, might have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day. :) Tammy

You know, I've never even had a mango, but I bet I would love that bread, it looks quite good. I must look into that! I also can relate to adding a little bit more of my favorite ingredient to a recipe. ~Lili
