Just thinking about it makes my mouth pucker.  It is getting harder to find common mangoes.  Common mangoes make the best pickled mango – better than Hayden or any other variety.  We also used to eat green or half ripe mango with shoyu, rice vinegar and black pepper.  It was so ono!  Ono enough to be worth the sore stomach after.

From Hawaiian Electric – they always share really good recipes on their monthly bills.

Put mango slices into a jar.  Combine remaining ingredients in a pot.  Bring to a boil; cool to lukewarm.
