Buko-Mango Salad

Assemble these supplies:

3 ripe mangoes
1/2 cup finely chopped sliced onion
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup cream or chilled evaporated milk
1 stick white gulaman
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar Salt
1 cup shredded buko (young coconut)

Steps in preparation:

Cut the meat of the mangoes into cubes or scoop with potato bailer. Shred the buko. Mix and season with salt and sugar (about 1 tea-spoon salt and 1/3 cup sugar) according to taste. Beat the cream with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup sugar. Cool in refrigerator. Mean-while, cook the gulaman with 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 cup sugar. When the gulaman is ready, mix the mayonnaise and the cream in the mango mixture, then pour the gulaman. Mix well. Pour this mixture into a mold. When set, put on a platter and garnish with red cherries and parsley. If the cherries are not available, red gulaman may be prepared as a substitute (the man-go can be substituted with other fruits).
