3-Ingredient Easy Mango Compote [or Coulis]
Description
The 3-Ingredient Easy Mango Compote uses mango softened by simmering with sugar and optional citrus juice to balance sweetness and brightness. During cooking, the mango breaks down and can be mashed by hand to reach the desired consistency, from thick and pulpy to smooth when blended or sieved. The simmering concentrates flavors and thickens the sauce, which can be adapted with added liquids to adjust thickness.
This compote serves well as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream, or it can be used as a fruit coulis drizzle on desserts. Its simple ingredients make it an accessible preparation for highlighting mangoes at their peak.
Using non-reactive cookware such as stainless steel or ceramic prevents any metallic taste due to the acidity from citrus juice. Adjust sugar amounts according to mango sweetness and your taste preferences.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mango fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice optional, or lime juice
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium heat, add the mango, sugar, and lemon or lime juice if using. Simmer uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly. As the mango softens, hand-mash them with a fork or potato masher to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to preference by varying sugar quantity based on mango ripeness.
- Modify texture by mashing for chunky sauce or blending and straining for smooth coulis.
- Use non-reactive cookware to avoid off-flavors from acidic ingredients.
- Add water or fruit juice to thin or simmer longer to thicken the compote as needed.
