A few people have asked me for this recipe. So I thought I’d add it to the blog for all to use. I started making these in Dominica after reading the book The Embarrassment of the Mangoes by Ann Vanderhoof. I even made them for one of the fruit vendors in Grenada after he sold me some papaya. He raved about them. They are a moist treat whether you eat them for breakfast or just as a mid-day snack.
Enjoy!
