Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 mangoes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop the mangoes into equal-sized cubes. Remove excess moisture from the surface with paper towels.
  • Thread 3-5 mango cubes into each skewer. Set them aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a pot or a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup sugar with ½ cup water and bring to a boil. This should take 10-15 minutes.
  • Traditionally, you’ll need to immediately dip the skewers into the sugar mixture, but you can also use a spoon to drizzle the mixture over the fruit, just like I did.
  • Once coated, allow the skewers to rest for a couple of minutes before you serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a silicone mat to place your skewers after you’re done coating them in the sugar syrup.
  • Make sure you work fast while coating the mangoes. The sugar syrup can start to get hard quickly. 
  • Get rid of any excess moisture on the surface of the mangos. This will help the sugar syrup stick to the mangos nicely.
