Ingredients
- 3 large ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjustable depending on sweetness of mangoes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, lime juice, water, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Once simmering, lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mango softens and begins to break down slightly. The sauce should thicken but still retain small mango chunks.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or acidity if needed by adding more sugar or lime juice according to your preference.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Step 6
Serve warm or chilled. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
