Mango-a-go-go Goner

I had high hopes for this latest concoction. Mangoes were on sale at a great price, and I'd been wanting to make some tasty mangoey goodness. Alas, the stars and planets were slightly askew as this bread was quite boring (though my dad loved it and ate it all up...thankfully). The only way one would know mangoes were even present were the stringy threads of the mango flesh. =( I never liked eating those big fat red-green mangoes (often from Mexico), but apparently, they're not great for cooking either. Surprisingly, this bread was mostly dry (only slightly wet) despite the juiciness of the mangoes (though not terribly sweet or flavorful). I suppose most of the juice ran down my arms thus unable to moisten the bread. ;) In the end, this was just another typical quick bread whose only highlight came from the Craisins I used instead of raisins which turned out fantastic! But then, I'm not a huge raisin fan in my baked goods. I liked that the Craisins weren't terribly sweet (like raisins) yet were not sour either (if fresh/frozen cranberries had been used). From now on, I think I'll replace all raisins with Craisins when making sweets! =D
