How to make Mango Candy

To make mango candy, you can follow these general steps:

1. **Ingredients:**
- Ripe mangoes
- Sugar
- Lemon juice (optional)
- Water

2. **Prepare Mango Puree:**
- Peel and dice ripe mangoes.
- Blend the mango pieces into a smooth puree. You may add a little lemon juice for acidity.

3. **Cooking the Puree:**
- In a saucepan, combine the mango puree with sugar. The amount of sugar depends on your taste and the sweetness of the mangoes.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens. This may take some time.

4. **Testing Consistency:**
- To check if it's ready, take a small amount and drop it into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready for the next step.

5. **Setting the Candy:**
- Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, pour it onto a greased tray or mold.

6. **Cooling and Cutting:**
- Allow the mango mixture to cool and set completely. You can speed up this process by refrigerating it.
- Once set, cut the mango candy into small, bite-sized pieces.

7. **Storage:**
- Store the mango candy in an airtight container to prevent it from becoming sticky.

Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference and the sweetness of the mangoes. Feel free to experiment with additional flavors like spices or herbs for a unique touch.
