    About Mango Squash

    Squash is concentrated syrup made with sugar, water and any fruit juice / pulp. Mango Squash is a made by simmering sugar with water to make a syrup and mixing it with mango pulp. When serving a part of squash is mixed with chilled water and served.

    This Homemade Mango Squash is made without any added preservatives and artificial colors. This squash is so easy to make and you can store in fridge for about 15 days. So what are you waiting for, grab the ingredients and make it before the mango season ends.

    I saw this Mango Squash Recipe and noted down from a tamil magazine long back, though the original recipe used sodium meta bi-sulphate as preservative, I skipped it and replaced with just lemon juice so the shelf life is less. But as its summer and mango season is on, you can make fresh batch as and when needed.

    This is a perfect summer coolant and one of the best ways to use mangoes. I love homemade squashes so much as there is no additional preservative or even essence just the real goodness of fruits. So I make sure to make a batch whenever possible with seasonal fruits.

    Mango juice cannot be stored it should be consumed fresh. While mango squash can be stored and used to make mango juice in an instant.
