Preparation

Step 1
Peel the mangoes, cutting deep enough into the fruit so that any green-colored flesh is also removed. Then cutting inward toward the pit, slice each mango into slivers about ½-inch thick. Discard the pits.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the mango slivers with the sugar, cognac and lime juice. Serve immediately or, for added flavor, chill before serving for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve in chilled glasses.
