Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 3 habanero peppers stems removed (seeds included for extra heat)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium. Sauté garlic 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add diced mangoes, habaneros, honey, vinegar, lime juice, paprika and salt. Stir well.
  3. Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to blender with 1/4 cup water.
  5. Blend until completely smooth (2-3 minutes). Add more water if needed for desired consistency.
  6. Strain through fine mesh sieve for ultra-smooth texture (optional).
  7. Cool completely before transferring to airtight jar. Flavors intensify after 24 hours.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling habaneros. Sauce keeps refrigerated 2 weeks. For milder version, remove habanero seeds before cooking.
