How to Make Lou's Mango Pie
- Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your pie crust packaging. Bake the pie shell according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the mango slices with lemon juice.
- Add ¼ cup of the granulated sugar and mix lightly. Set aside for 1 hour to allow the mangoes to release their juices.
- Drain the mangoes, reserving the released juice.
- Add enough water to the reserved mango juice to measure 1 cup of liquid.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining ½ cup of sugar and cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in the mango liquid until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a clear, glossy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the rum (if using).
- Stir in the butter and salt until melted and incorporated.
- Gently fold in the drained mango slices.
- Pour the mango filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your Lou S Mango Pie!
