I wouldn't expect 2 SB's would work well with 2 mangos. I've been known to
substitue SB's for habaneros in my mango-habanero mustard. That has one
mango (and some mustard, obviously, and other stuff...), and I'll typically
use 5-8 SB's. I remove the stems, but leave seeds and ribs in (on a pepper
that small, is it really worth removing the ribs for a non-CH type? I
mean, jeeshe, there's no flesh left to give the appropriate flavor...)
