Why You'll Love This Spicy Mango Sauce Recipe?

- It's better than store-bought mango sauce.
The Ingredients
- Mango: I have used Kent mangoes; however, feel free to use juicy, non-fibrous mango verities like Ataulfo, Hayden, or Palmer.
- Jalapeno: Wear gloves while handling this pepper to avoid any skin irritations. Deseed and remove the white membrane to minimize the heat.
- Lemon Juice: The secret factor is the lemon juice, which complements the mango's sweetness and the pepper's heat.
- Garlic: Mince it for rich flavors.
- Cilantro: The combination of mango, pepper, and cilantro makes the sauce delicious.
How To Make Spicy Mango Sauce?
- Cut the mango: Slice the mango and scoop out the flesh. And set aside.

- Add: Now pour the set-aside mango mixture into a pan and bring it to a boil.
- Cook: Cook over medium heat until the mixture is glazy. Add minced cilantro. And remove it from the heat.
- And Enjoy: As a dipping or taco sauce.
How To Store the Leftovers
- Transfer the spicy mango sauce to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to two months.
- To defrost, leave the frozen sauce in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- Serve as chilled or reheat it gently over the stovetop.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Selecting the mango: Each variety of mango tastes different. So, decide the amount of salt, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Do not over-grind: The sauce looks delightful with the natural fibers. The mango should become pulpy, not mushy.
- Do not overcook: The mango is a fruit, and overcooking can spoil the taste and the original aroma of the fruit.
- Tasting: Taste the mixture before heating. Adjust the salt, sweet, and pepper accordingly(try also these Sriracha aioli, Boom boom sauce, and Banana pepper sauce).
