  1. This is an edited review - I have decided not to assign any stars because of changes I made in the recipe. It turned out fairly good, but there did seem to be rather too much gelatin. I changed the recipe by using canned mango, with some of the syrup in place of the juice and decreasing the sugar because the fruit was sweetened. I also soaked the gelatin in 1/4 cup cold, rather than hot water, and then dissolved it over hot water. (The recipe's method may work fine, I just promised my Mom I would always treat gelatin like this.) This was an interesting experiment. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.
