Don,

Depending on the level of mango flavor you're shooting for in your mead, I'd
use some or all of the can. For mango I believe I'd let the can thaw, pour
into your fermenter, warm the honey for ease of pouring (in a pan or sink
full of warm tap water), add that, add nutrient, top up to almost 1 gallon
with tap or spring water, stir well, and pitch the slurry from a quart
starter of your favored yeast. Depending on your yeast choice, you might
want to ferment in a 3 gallon or larger fermenter. Mango can foam.
