Any suggestions?

I got a bit carried away with cheap fruit at the market..... :confused:

I have so far made a smoothie using 4 mangos and 2 bananas and this is what I still have left!

    Mango and banana chutney, banana and nut loaf, bananas and custard (yum!), baked bananas, banana sandwiches......

    I believe bananas can be frozen but haven't tried it myself.

    Pink,

    Brilliant links - especially for the mango as I could find a few banana recipes already. Thank you!

    They wouldn't last more than a day with me! I'd eat fruit all day long! :drool: Ok, two days perhaps :o

    blend and freeze in small portions and use to top ice cream.

    I was going to ask the same question myself, so thanks OP:)

    I have 10 mangos in our fridge - 10!!!! I get 2 or 3 every week in our box and I have no idea what to do with them as none of us like them, no one else I know seems to like them, and I can't just chuck out edible food - I thought they would end up staying in the fridge until they became inedible and could then be officially thrown out!!

    I hadn't thought about mago chutney! I love mango chutney (but hate magos!), and will definitely use them up in making some tomorrow.

    Yhanks everyone :)

    Just to say thanks all.

    I have so far made: mango and banana smoothie, mango sorbet, mango and white chocolate muffins and after some (homemade) soup for lunch I'm going to try banana bread. :j
