Thanks Betty. I will have some chicken meat left over tonight.

Now if only my mango tree would cooperate.

It does sound good. And if you have any mangoes left over or can get more good ones, try this

A couple weeks ago I made a mango-blueberry pie on a whim. Didn't know if it would be a good combo or not. It was a hit. My DH went nuts over it.

A few days ago I made two more for friends. Each party consumed half a pie at one sitting and one of them tiptoed out to the refrig in the middle of the night for a second try at it.

I don't really have a true recipe but here is what I used:

pie crust (second crust lattice) in a deep dish 10" pie plate
about 5 c fresh blueberries
about 1 whole mango, peeled, cut into pieces (I used "canned" mangoes from a jar I got at Costco)
1 c sugar plus a sprinkle for the top
5 generous T flour
about 1/2 tsp cinnamon plus more for the top
about 1-1/2 T butter

Preheat oven to 400.
Mix all except the pie crust, butter and the top sprinkle. Dump into the crust and cut up the butter and "dot". If doing a lattice crust weave it now. If not put the second crust over the top and make sure there are some slits or a center hole for steam. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake about 20 min then turn oven down to 350 and bake another 30 min. Cool down on a rack.

I like this! And I have some of those canned mangoes to use up. Thanks

This may sound really odd, but I just might add some diced rhubarb cuz I have it right now.
