You don't need any special equipment to dry mangoes in the sun. It does take a while, but it's pretty "hands off" as you'll see below!

  • Total Time: 48 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • Fresh Mangoes

Instructions

    1. Slice your mangoes and spread them on drying racks or screens. This will allow them to drain excess juice and also promote good airflow.

    Some people may even use window screens. Since juice will drip from the mangoes, put them on baking sheets or put a plastic sheet or similar below the baking sheets. This makes cleanup much easier!

    2. Place the mango sheets in a bright sunshiny place. Check on the mangoes and turn them every few hours. The time for this process will depend on your location and how much sun you get. It will take at least 24 hours, so bring the trays in at nighttime so you don’t get any dew on the mangoes. Continue drying the next day. Some locations will require a 3rd day of drying. You'll know it's “done” if you squeeze a slice and no water droplets ooze out.
