Did switch the mango for some apricots, but that was about it! Great flavor combinations, I thought, making this a keeper of a recipe for me! Another time I definitely want to work with the mango, probably fresh or frozen! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag game]
