Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (peeled, pitted, and diced) Ripe mangoes
- 2 whole (stem removed, seeds optional) Habanero peppers
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 whole (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel, pit, and dice the mangoes. Remove the stems from the habanero peppers (remove seeds if you prefer a milder sauce). Grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced mangoes and habanero peppers to the saucepan. Stir to combine, and let cook for 3-4 minutes until the mangoes begin to soften.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water, then add the honey, lime juice, and salt. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mangoes should break down, and the mixture will thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (Use caution with hot liquids.)
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (add a pinch more salt, a splash of vinegar, or an extra drizzle of honey, if desired).
Pour the sauce into a clean glass jar or bottle and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a dipping sauce, marinade, or condiment for grilled meats, seafood, roasted vegetables, or tacos.
