Mango Habanero Sauce
Description
The Mango Habanero Sauce begins by finely chopping carrot, onion, and habanero peppers in a food processor. Adding mango, garlic, salt, and honey results in a smooth puree after processing. This mixture is cooked with apple cider vinegar and lime juice until it thickens, intensifying its flavors. The sauce balances the sweet mango and honey with the fiery heat of habanero peppers and the acidity from vinegar and lime.
The simmering process reduces the sauce, concentrating flavors and giving the sauce more body. The sauce has a smooth texture suitable for drizzling or using as a dip. It can accompany grilled meats, seafood, or as a spicy sweet sauce for various meals.
Handling habanero chiles requires caution as their oils are very hot and can irritate skin and eyes. Wearing gloves and thoroughly cleaning surfaces after handling is recommended. The sauce should be cooled before refrigeration for storage.
Ingredients
- 1 medium carrot peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup white onion chopped
- 2 small habanero chile seeded and deveined, orange
- 1 large Mango peeled and diced, ripe
- 1 clove garlic minced

- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Notes
