Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ripe mangoes
- 6 whole Cloves
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel the mangoes, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Cut the mango flesh into thick slices or chunks and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, brown sugar, cloves, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to achieve a simmer.
Add the mango chunks to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them with the spiced syrup.
Simmer the mangoes for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender but not falling apart.
Stir in the lime juice and vanilla extract during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the stewed mangoes to cool slightly. Discard the cloves to avoid biting into them while serving.
Serve warm or chilled as a dessert, or use as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
