- Hey friends.
0:01
It is so stinking hot here in Savannah.
0:04
So hot.
0:06
But you know what?
0:07
I heard that there's a heat wave across the country
0:10
that like the Midwest is breaking records for heat.
0:15
You know I'm so thankful that Bobby lives on the water
0:18
and with us living here in his guest house,
0:22
we're on the water also and that creates a little breeze.
0:25
So I'm ever so thankful for that.
0:28
But having said that, it is summertime,
0:33
and all of the wonderful delicious fruits are coming in.
0:38
And the triplets adore, adore fruit.
0:44
I've got mango, I've got honeydew, kiwi,
0:49
blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
0:52
Now I was given instructions to teach y'all,
0:57
if you don't know how, to cut a mango.
1:01
Because you know, it's got that huge seed in it.
1:05
So I called in the expert this morning, Claudia,
1:10
because her children adore mangoes, especially Olivia.
1:16
So I said I really need an expert today
1:21
on helping me teach folks how to properly slice a mango.
1:29
So she is gonna be here in a little while,
1:33
she couldn't come right then.
1:34
But so while I'm waiting on her,
1:37
I'm gonna make a sweet, creamy custard
1:40
for dipping our fruit in while we're waiting
1:43
on Claud to get here.
1:45
And all I need for that is milk, eggs, and sugar.
1:52
So it's really gonna be like,
1:55
almost like a vanilla pudding to dip it in.
1:59
I'm gonna start with a cup and a half of milk.
2:04
And I think if I remember correctly,
2:08
like a half a cup of sugar, let me check, y'all.
2:11
I don't want to, 2/3, tell you wrong.
2:14
Yes, 2/3 of a cup of sugar.
2:19
And we are gonna heat this up.
2:23
Now we don't want it to boil.
2:24
We never want this to boil.
2:28
And you need to stir it pretty like, almost always.
2:34
All right, I've got two, four, six eggs here, six yolks.
2:39
And I'm gonna (fork clinking) beat those up.
2:48
And then we're gonna temper our yolks
2:52
with our hot milk and sugar mixture.
2:56
And then we're gonna be adding our vanilla
2:59
and a little butter.
3:02
And naturally we have to let this cool.
3:05
And I always serve the dressing on the side,
3:12
because some of you may want it and some of you may not.
3:16
So you can serve yourself on that.
3:18
Now this is probably gonna take it about 10 minutes.
3:22
I've got it on a low temperature,
3:24
so it'll take about 10 minutes probably,
3:27
for this to this heat up
3:30
and then we'll be ready to temper our egg yolks.
3:34
Okay, our sugar has dissolved.
3:39
So now we're just gonna add a little bit
3:42
and you see, it's not boiling.
3:44
We don't want it to boil.
3:45
So we're gonna slowly add the hot to the yolks.
3:50
Otherwise, if you just poured the yolks right in there,
3:54
they could curdle, and it'd be like scrambled eggs.
4:03
So you gonna add a little bit more,
4:09
and just beat them each time you add a little of your hot.
4:15
Okay, so those are nice and warm now.
4:19
So we're gonna pour it into our milk and sugar mixture,
4:27
just like that.
4:29
Anytime you're making a cream pie or anything like that,
4:34
that's the way you'll want to add your eggs to the recipe.
4:39
Like I said, you can't just put 'em in there,
4:41
or you might get scrambled eggs in your custard.
4:46
So now we're gonna cook this
4:47
until it begins to thicken some.
4:51
Okay y'all, it took about 10 minutes.
4:55
It's slightly thickened and it coats the back of the spoon.
4:59
When it coats the back of your spoon,
5:02
then you know it's ready.
5:04
So we're gonna add our butter
5:09
and about a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring.
5:15
And we're gonna stir that together.
5:18
And then we gonna let it cool.
5:20
And by the time this cools,
5:22
Claudia should be walking in the back door,
5:25
to teach us how to properly cut a mango.
5:30
So I got a kick out of when Ms. Theresa told me
5:33
that she wanted an expert to show y'all
5:37
how to slice, peel, and slice a mango.
5:41
Well I hate to tell you, but I'm not the expert.
5:45
And I'll tell you why.
5:47
Because I know it's got a huge seed in the center
5:52
and they're expensive, they can be pricey.
5:55
They're not right now 'cause there in season.
5:57
They're like a buck apiece at the grocery store now.
6:00
So I never would buy a mango.
6:03
But I've seen Claud peel and de-pit a mango so many times,
6:12
because Olivia loves a mango.
6:14
- Mm-hmm.
6:15
- So-
6:17
- Here's the expert.
6:18
- I laughed, yes. - The mango expert.
6:20
- So the expert is my daughter-in-law, Claud.
6:24
Do they grow these in your home country?
6:26
- Yes. - Okay.
6:27
- So at my grandma's house, they had huge mango tree and-
6:31
- Really? - Yes, it was crazy.
6:33
And they're the best mangoes.
6:34
All these are usually imported from, like, Mexico, I feel.
6:37
- Yeah, yeah.
6:38
- But in Latin America and South America it's, it's amazing.
6:42
And I remember at the school too,
6:44
and when the trees would be packed.
6:46
Like they'll let the kids bring mango, yeah.
6:48
- Oh, that's great.
6:49
Well, I had a feeling the way I've seen you handle 'em.
6:52
(Claudia laughing)
6:53
That they must be native to where you grew up.
6:56
- Yes, yes, and these remind me of my daddy.
6:58
My daddy loves mangoes.
7:00
- Does he? - He does.
7:01
- All right, now I've picked.
7:03
- And they're delicious,
7:04
I love them too. - I picked out
7:04
a couple of knives,
7:06
and I hope one of 'em is sharp enough for you.
7:09
- Well, we're gonna see- - So let me know.
7:10
And if it's not- - We'll get another.
7:13
- Now do you start off by washing them?
7:15
- Yeah, so I don't, I'm no expert, but I'll do my best.
7:18
- All right, and I've got,
7:20
compared to me, you're an expert.
7:21
- Okay, let's put it that way.
7:23
but, no expert. - There's different standards.
7:26
- Well, now, I didn't used to wash my fruit that had peels,
7:29
but Bobby told me a crazy story that he read online.
7:32
I think I told you that, too.
7:34
Of somebody that ate an avocado without washing it,
7:37
like cut it, and they ate it.
7:39
And there was like some bacteria on the skin,
7:43
and then that person died.
7:45
- So after that I wash everything.
7:47
- I've never heard that story,
7:48
and I've never washed an avocado.
7:50
- Wash them, wash them.
7:51
I'll even wash my lemons now. - Never.
7:52
- And I wash them with like water and vinegar, so.
7:54
- Yes. - But this will do.
7:57
- And you've got a machine that's like,
7:59
you can put your fruits and your veggies to sterilize them.
8:05
- To sterilize everything, yeah.
8:06
So okay.
8:07
- All right, so first of all, we've got 'em washed.
8:10
Now I would like for you to tell us how to select a mango.
8:16
- Oh.
8:17
- I don't know when they're ripe.
8:18
- Well, it's funny because sometimes you think
8:20
like this is really red and you'll feel like,
8:22
because it's really red, it's ready,
8:24
but it's all by feel.
8:26
So it's like a lemon, you know?
8:27
You want it to be a little bit squishy, squishy, squidgy.
8:31
- Yeah, this one's not squishy.
8:32
- It's not very squishy, but it's fine.
8:34
- No, let me check this one. It's like an avocado, too,
8:36
like a lemon or an avocado.
8:37
- Like an avocado, yes.
8:38
I know how to select a avocado.
8:41
- So it's about the same. - That's much the same way.
8:43
- Yeah, and usually like I'll get,
8:44
if I get three for the week for Oli,
8:46
I'll get one that is harder,
8:48
to give it time
8:49
like an avocado. - Right, right.
8:50
- Like a banana.
8:51
- Yes - And remind me,
8:54
before you leave today,
8:56
I've got all that fruit that I wanna give you
8:58
that I'm afraid is gonna go to waste.
9:00
- Yeah.
9:00
- It won't go to waste in my house.
9:01
So this is what we're gonna do.
9:04
We're gonna cut and this is all gonna be by feel,
9:07
because we don't know where the pit is, right?
9:08
So you're just gonna cut,
9:10
I'm gonna say like third, like a third way.
9:13
- [Paula] A third of the way.
9:14
- [Claudia] Yeah.
9:15
- [Paula] You gonna try to get a solid piece of meat.
9:19
- [Claudia] Yes, but see, I can feel the pit.
9:20
- [Paula] You can?
9:22
- [Claudia] No, I cannot.
9:22
- [Paula] You cannot.
9:23
(Claudia laughing)
9:24
- [Claudia] It's a mango that is hard.
9:26
That's the pit.
9:27
- [Paula] Okay yes, yes.
9:28
- [Claudia] So you're gonna try to do that with every side.
9:30
But again, it's got,
9:31
the softer the mango is the easier it is,
9:33
because you'll feel the hard.
9:35
- [Paula] Yes, yes.
9:36
- [Claudia] Like I can feel that thing there,
9:37
so let's go this way.
9:39
(knife cutting)
9:40
So maybe this way.
9:41
I'm gonna have to go a little sideways,
9:42
but it's fine.
9:44
Yeah, this mango is not quite ready.
9:47
- It's not quite a mango, is it?
9:48
- No, you wanna go as close to the pit as you can.
9:51
- [Paula] As you can.
9:52
- [Claudia] I could have gone closer here.
9:54
- [Paula] Yes.
9:55
- [Claudia] Of course the edges are gonna be smaller.
9:59
You're gonna have two big pieces in one small.
10:01
- [Paula] Yeah.
10:02
- [Claudia] So the trick is gonna be,
10:04
kind of like what you may do with an avocado,
10:06
is that you're gonna do squares.
10:09
- [Paula] Just like an avocado.
10:10
- [Claudia] Yes.
10:11
So you don't go all the way.
10:12
All the way through.
10:14
- [Paula] And then do you need a spoon to scoop them out?
10:17
- [Claudia] No, well this one's hard,
10:20
but the fun part now is that you will do, like this.
10:24
Ta-dah!
10:25
- [Paula] It's like that pop it.
10:26
- Yes, and then you can eat it.
10:27
Like this, like if we were gonna eat it straight.
10:29
You can just eat it like this.
10:32
This one.
10:32
- That's great.
10:34
- [Claudia] It can come out with your hands.
10:35
- [Paula] But now, Oli doesn't eat it that way.
10:37
- [Claudia] Well, she licks the,-
10:38
- [Paula] Does she?
10:39
- [Claudia] This usually comes out easier.
10:42
But I wash my hands.
10:44
- [Paula] 'Cause I always see them in chunks.
10:45
- [Claudia] Yeah, I washed my hands before I came,
10:47
so people are not saying I didn't wash my hands.
10:50
(Claudia laughing)
10:51
Always wash your hands and then you just bob.
10:56
Again, it should be, you know.
10:58
This one is,
10:59
I mean, I'm sure it's delicious, but-
11:02
- [Paula] It is, it's delicious.
11:04
I just tasted it. - [Claudia] It could have sat
11:05
a couple of days.
11:05
Or you could also, if you want, you could also wrap it up.
11:09
- [Paula] Please don't cut yourself.
11:09
- [Claudia] Yeah, you could also that.
11:11
But I feel like when you do it with your hands,
11:12
it comes out more closer to the skin.
11:15
- [Paula] Well that is delicious.
11:17
- [Claudia] Yes, and then-
11:18
- [Paula] If I was here by myself or maybe,
11:20
didn't have to be by myself. - And then you eat this.
11:22
- I would eat this.
11:23
- Then you eat that. Yeah, that's what I usually do.
11:25
- Mm, you do?
11:27
- Yeah, and I give that to Oli and she'll eat that.
11:29
And then with this little guy, I'll just do like a strip,
11:33
if you wanna get this one.
11:35
Okay, and then what you do with this,
11:37
you just work around the you know,
11:39
so all I do is just I just try to.
11:43
Let me move this at least, so.
11:46
I just try to get all these little-
11:47
- [Paula] As much of the meat you can.
11:49
- [Claudia] Meat as you can, yeah.
11:50
(knife cutting)
11:51
- [Paula] See that just seems like such a waste.
11:53
It's such a big seed.
11:55
- [Claudia] Yeah, and I just,
11:56
well, I mean you can suck this.
11:58
- [Paula] Oh, thank you.
11:59
So no part goes to waste and then this you just cut.
12:01
- [Paula] I think there's some more you can cut there.
12:03
- Yeah probably, smaller. - Can you get that closer?
12:05
- [Claudia] Or you can eat it.
12:05
- [Paula] 'Cause I'm thinking about Oli.
12:07
- Yeah no, that's really close to the pit.
12:11
(Paula giggling) (Claudia giggling)
12:13
And that's it.
12:14
That's how you kind of mango.
12:16
Ta-dah!
12:18
- Yes, there was nothing left to cut.
12:19
- No, not really.
12:20
- Mm-mm, mm.
12:22
- That's it.
12:27
- Now how are these as far as fat or calories concerned?
12:31
- Oh no, we don't care about that.
12:33
(Paula laughing)
12:34
- [Paula] We don't?
12:35
- We're in Paula Deen's kitchen,
12:37
we don't care about calories or fat.
12:38
No, it's not fat.
12:39
It's just fruit.
12:41
It's a natural fruit, natural sugar.
12:43
All good for you, vitamin C.
12:44
(tongue clicks)
12:46
Love vitamin C.
12:46
- Oh, take that one home with you.
12:48
- [Claudia] Oh, is that enough?
12:49
- Yes. - Okay, great.
12:50
I'll take it with me and I'll give it a couple of days.
12:52
- [Paula] Yes, yes.
12:53
- [Claudia] Perfect, awesome.
12:53
- [Paula] 'Cause I don't want you to cut it,
12:55
if it's-
12:56
- [Claudia] Yeah.
12:57
- So what we're gonna do now,
12:59
is put all the fruits and this bowl.
13:01
If you wanna do that.
13:03
- Okay, I'll help you.
13:04
- And then we made a sauce to goes with it.
13:09
- Blueberries, strawberries, green melon, kiwi.
13:14
- [Paula] You're stirring that up a little bit.
13:17
- [Claudia] We're putting it in the bigger bowl.
13:18
- [Paula] Mm-hmm.
13:21
- [Claudia] Ta-dah!
13:23
It's Beautiful.
13:25
- [Paula] Yes.
13:27
Now, I would not sauce the whole thing.
13:33
- [Claudia] Yeah, maybe too much.
13:35
- [Paula] Yes, I would give everybody a little cup.
13:38
- [Claudia] Probably by portions,
13:39
because if you have leftovers,
13:41
you don't want it to get mushier.
13:42
- [Paula] No, yeah.
13:43
'Cause you want it to have a longer life
13:47
than what it would be.
13:49
All right, so let's get us.
13:51
Let me see if I can-
13:52
- [Claudia] We need to mix this, wait.
13:54
- [Paula] Okay.
13:55
(water running)
14:00
- [Claudia] So you get all the fruit.
14:04
That's beautiful.
14:06
- [Paula] Isn't that pretty?
14:07
- [Claudia] It's a rainbow salad.
14:12
- [Paula] And with the fruit,
14:15
there's your toothpick,
14:17
and with the fruit being so plentiful right now.
14:20
- [Claudia] Oh yeah.
14:22
I'm gonna get a kiwi.
14:24
- [Paula] I'm gonna get a strawberry.
14:25
(Paula giggling)
14:28
- Mm, that's delicious, mm-hmm.
14:33
- That's kick butt, isn't it?
14:34
- Mm-hmm, you know what you can do too.
14:35
You can do this as skewers?
14:37
Is that what's it called?
14:37
And then you can serve them I guess
14:40
for a pool party or something and you can dip them.
14:43
This is delicious.
14:45
- [Paula] I've got some skewers if you want to take some.
14:47
- [Claudia] I have some too.
14:48
- [Paula] Okay and make the kids. Mm.
14:51
- I don't know if I'd trust them with the skewers.
14:54
(Claudia laughing)
14:57
Not sure.
14:58
- That sauce is delicious, isn't it?
14:59
- Mm-hmm.
15:00
- Look.
15:01
- Just drink it, cheers.
15:02
- Cheers.
15:03
(Claudia laughing)
15:04
- [Paula] Bon appetit.
15:05
(Claudia laughing)
15:06
(Paula laughing)
15:10
- Is that yummy?
15:11
- It's like condensed milk?
15:12
- Yeah, it kind of tastes, mm,
15:15
there's no condensed milk in it.
15:18
- That's good, mm. - Mm.
15:20
- Mm.
15:21
- Thank you.
15:22
- Thank you Ginny.
15:23
- I knew that I knew-
15:27
- Somebody that could cut a mango. (Claudia laughing)
15:28
- A real expert,
15:30
'cause honey, I wouldn't near about done it that way.
15:33
(both laughing)
15:35
I would've been here chomping and chomping.
15:38
- Cut your fingers.
15:39
- So I want you to take this to the babies.
15:41
- I will, mm-hmm.
15:42
And I've got a lot more fruit to give you too.
15:46
- So thanks, Claud rushed home to help do this with me.
15:54
- So I appreciate it.
15:55
- You're welcome.
15:56
- And I love you.
15:57
- Love you too.
15:58
(lips smacking)
15:59
- I love you.
15:59
So that's it.
16:02
- What I'm gonna do?
16:03
- What are you gonna do?
16:05
- No I said, I'm gonna take some of it.
16:06
- You're not gonna take all of it?
16:08
- It's a lot. (Claudia giggling)
16:10
- Please take all of it. - Okay, I will.
16:12
- The way your kids go through fruit.
16:13
(Paula laughing)
16:14
- Bye-bye y'all. - Bye.
