Tips
This recipe works well with many dried fruits! You can mix it up each time you prepare it by swapping dried mangos for options such as dried pineapple, cherries, apricots and more. Take your experimentation even further by either using ½ cup each of two dried fruits or 1/3 cup each of three dried fruits for even more flavor!
