Tropical Mango BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

• Black pepper (1/2 tsp)
• Salt (1/2 tsp)
• Smoked Paprika (1 tsp)
• Onion Powder (1 tsp)
• Garlic Powder (1 tsp)
• Dijon Mustard (1 tbsp)
• Worcestershire Sauce (2 tbsp)
• Apple Cider Vinegar (1/2 cup)
• Brown Sugar (1/2 cup)
• Ketchup (1 cup)
• Ripe Mangoes (2, peeled and diced)

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Blend until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous mixture, ensuring all the mango chunks are completely pureed.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool. The flavors will continue to meld together as it cools, intensifying the taste.
6. Use this Tropical Mango BBQ Sauce as a marinade or glaze for grilled meats and vegetables. It pairs exceptionally well with chicken, ribs, or even grilled tofu for a vegetarian option.
7. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Remember to shake well before using again.
