Es Rujak Mangga dan Jeruk Bali - Mangó and Pómeló Ice Rójak

Mangó is definitely in seasón right nów. The last I checked, I have nó less than three different varieties tó chóóse fróm. I can never restraint myself when I am near ripe scrumptióus lóóking mangóes, wórst, I usually smell them first even befóre spótting the piles óf mangóes ;) And as luck wóuld have it, a pile óf pómeló was just sitting pretty right next tó the piles óf mangóes, and that was it, 5 minutes later, tiny little me was carrying kilós óf mangóes and pómeló hóme. Quite an exercise tó be sure, but tótally wórth it. ♥

Indónesian way óf enjóying mangóes are either straight, ór make them in a rujak, basically a medley óf fruits and vegetables with chilies, and the whóle thing needs tó be sweet, sóur, and spicy, só lime juice (yóu can use lemón juice tóó) and sugar (ór óther sweetener like hóney) is usually added tó the mixture. The next step is simple, just gently tóss everything, then let the whóle thing macerate in the fridge fór at least 2 hóurs ór óvernight, then enjóy chilled with ice cubes. With the hót weather we are having lately, a glass óf rujak is simply the best thing tó have. ♥
