Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and remove the pit. Chop the mango flesh into small cubes.
In a blender, combine the chopped mangoes, lime juice, honey, ginger, salt, and water.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add cayenne pepper and blend again until well combined.
Pour the mango mixture into a small saucepan.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat.
Allow the mango sauce to cool to room temperature before serving or storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
