Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh mango chunks or thawed frozen mango
  • 2-3 habanero peppers finely diced, seeds removed for less heat
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil for sautéing

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Medium saucepan
  • Glass Mason Jar
  • Disposable Gloves

Method
 

  1. Place the mango chunks into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add olive oil, minced garlic, and diced habanero peppers. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour the pureed mango into the saucepan. Whisk in the honey, apple cider vinegar, fresh lime juice, and salt until completely combined.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a glossy syrup.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the freshly chopped cilantro.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to an airtight glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Always wear disposable gloves when handling habanero peppers and wash hands thoroughly to prevent burning.
