The mangosteens are in season, and a friend is going to be dropping off a bunch (not sure how many) in a little over an hour. These little gems are wonderful snacks, but I've wondered about any recipes that could use them.
I'm not sure of the exact status of mangosteens in the U.S. - they used to be prohibited because of their chance of carrying destructive fruit flies, but I have read that they may, now be available.
For those of you who are still wondering, "Mangowhat?" here's a photo (grabbed from another website):
For more information, see the Wikipedia article.
So far, my search for recipes has yielded the usual ones for preserves or sorbet, but a few interesting things have been there, as well, such as Flambéed Mangosteen and Rambutan Salad and Thai Mangosteen Clafouti.
Anyone here have any experience with mangosteens, and some recipe suggestions?
