Ingredients
- 2 cups mango cubes about 330 g
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar more to taste
- 1 teaspoon lime juice optional but recommended; more to taste
Instructions
- Prep Mango: If using fresh mangoes, peel and cube them. If using frozen mango, defrost overnight in the fridge or thaw gently on low heat on the stove until softish. Drain and cube if using canned.2 cups mango cubes
- Cook Mango: In a pot add the mango cubes, a pinch of salt, the white sugar, and a splash of water to prevent burning. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t scorch, then reduce heat to low and cook until most of the liquid is gone. Remove from heat.pinch salt, 1 teaspoon white sugar
- Flavor the Compote: Stir in about half the lime juice, then taste carefully. Add more white sugar if the compote isn’t sweet enough, and add more lime juice if it needs acidity. It’s normal to need an extra tablespoon or two of sugar if your mangoes aren’t fully ripe and sweet.1 teaspoon lime juice
- Cool and Store: Use the compote right away, or let it cool and refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to use.
