Equipment
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
- 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
- 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.
