Ingredients

  • 2 cups of fresh or frozen mango
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated or brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of lemon or lime juice (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Notes

  • Sweeten to taste: Adjust the amount based on how sweet the mango naturally is and your preferred sweetness level.
  • Adjust the texture: Leave the sweet mango sauce thick and pulpy, mash it to your desired level, or blend it into a smooth coulis. For a super-smooth, light coulis, then press it through a sieve/nut milk bag.
  • Adjust the consistency: For a thinner mango coulis, add a splash of liquid (coconut water, water, or fruit juice). For a thicker one, allow it to simmer to thicken/reduce.
  • Use non-reactive cookware: As this recipe contains an acidic ingredient, it’s best to use stainless steel, ceramic, or glass cookware.
