*To Peel a Mango: Stand the mango on end and slice down along the sides of the

large flat pit with a boning knife or other long, flexible knife, curving around

the pit as you slice. You will end up with three sections: two larger, rounded

sections and a flat center section. Score the fruit in each rounded section

lengthwise into slices, then crosswise into chunks, if desired. Holding a

rounded section by its edges, push at the curved bottom to turn the rind inside

out. The slices or chunks can then be cut away from the rind. Trim away rind

from the flat center section and separate as much fruit as possible from the

pit. Always cut away from yourself and be careful - mango is very slippery.
