Prep 10 min Cook 25 min Serves 12 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 4 habanero peppers (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2-3 cups chopped mango (I used 2 cups for this recipe, but you can use more as desired)
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons spicy chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

  1. 1

    Heat a large saucepan to medium heat and add olive oil with onion and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes, or until everything softens.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and cook another minute, until garlic becomes fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add remaining ingredients and stir until everything is combined.

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Process until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a ½ cup of water or more and continue to process to your preferred consistency. Serve the sauce right away, or let it sit awhile to allow the flavors to more fully develop.
