- 1 tsp
- Onion Powder
- 1 tsp

- 1 tsp

Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Blend until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture, ensuring all the mango chunks are completely pureed.
- Transfer the blended mixture into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
- Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to continue simmering for 15-20 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly as it reduces.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool. The flavors will continue to meld together as it cools, intensifying the taste.

- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Remember to shake well before using again.
Tips
- For an added kick, consider adding a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a diced jalapeno to the blender.
- If you prefer your BBQ sauce more on the sweet side, feel free to adjust the brown sugar to taste.
- This sauce can also be used as a dip for grilled veggies or a flavorful dressing for salads.
