Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces ripe mangos (peeled & diced) – or 1 ½ cups frozen mango (thawed & drained)
  • 2-3 pieces habanero peppers (stemmed & seeded for less heat)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • ½ cup water (adjust as needed for consistency)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt (to taste)

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and habaneros, cooking until fragrant for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the sautéed mix to a blender. Add the mango, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Blend until smooth.
  • Return the blended sauce to the pan. Simmer on medium-low for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  • Taste the sauce and add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or water to reach your preferred texture.
  • Let the sauce cool down before transferring it to jars. Store it in the fridge for up to 7 to 10 days.

Notes

For a milder sauce, remove the seeds from the habanero peppers. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it longer. Adjust sweetness and tanginess to taste. Consider adding ginger or lime juice for variations.
