Wasn't sure of the amount of Chile powder. I expected it to be sweet still and it wasn't. Read More

I thought this was really yummy and different. It's spicy, limey, and sweet all at the same time. I will make this again. I think it would taste better after being refridgerated . Read More

As a child growing up un a Mexican household these tastes were very common -lemon and chili sprinkled on fruit but you have taken this concept to a new level by boiling the liqiud and submeging the fruit to coat. I must admit I was hesitant about changing my "costumbre" but this was excellent. Thanks for sharing and tell your mother-in-law thanks also. Read More

This was so good! I made it in the morning cooled it and put it in the refrig. Then at dinner I just heated it up for a few seconds in the microwave. Wish I had doubled the recipe. Read More

I only wish you had described how to cut up the mango in the recipe. I didn't know how and tried to do it my self thinking it couldn't be that hard and didn't really do the mango justice. After looking at u tube videos on how to dice a mango I wish I had another mango to try again. Anyway I also was a little worried about all the chili powder but it was really good. Going to let my boyfriend try it tonight and see what he thinks. He likes spicy stuff. Thanks! Read More
