Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) Fresh mango
- 2 whole (seeds removed for less heat, if desired) Habanero peppers
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel, pit, and dice the mango into small chunks. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mango, habanero peppers, white vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and the flavors meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids—hold the lid down with a kitchen towel to prevent any accidents.
Return the smooth sauce to the saucepan and place it over low heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using. It pairs perfectly with chicken wings, grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
