Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 2 habanero peppers, seeds removed and chopped (adjust for spice preference)
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Pantry

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel and dice the ripe mango, ensuring that you remove the pit entirely. Set aside.
  2. Handle Habaneros Safely: Wearing gloves (to protect your hands from the heat), carefully chop the habanero peppers, being careful to avoid touching your face or eyes after handling. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add Mango and Habanero: Add the diced mango and chopped habanero peppers to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine. Sauté the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until the mango begins to soften.
  5. Add Liquids: Pour in the honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce, followed by the lime juice. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Season: Sprinkle in the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Simmer Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango is thoroughly cooked down and the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  8. Blend Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Once cooled, transfer the mixture into a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth.
  9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or lime juice for acidity according to your preference.
  10. Store Sauce: Pour the finished sauce into a sterilized jar or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it for grilling.

Notes

  • Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid skin irritation.
  • Removing seeds from habanero peppers will reduce the heat of the sauce.
  • This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use this sauce as a marinade or basting sauce for grilled chicken, pork, or vegetables.
  • Adjust honey and lime juice to balance sweetness and acidity to taste.
