Notes
- If you are using frozen mangoes, give them a good stir when you first start heating them on the stove. They can tend to stick to the bottom of the pot and burn or scorch if you aren't careful.
- The sweetness of the sauce can vary due to the variety or ripeness of the mangoes. Taste the sauce after it's finished simmering and adjust by adding a little more sugar if required while it's still warm.
- No lemon juice? Substitute fresh lime juice instead.
- When blending a sauce like this with an immersion blender it must be done off the heat, or the sauce will splatter.
- No immersion (stick) blender? Allow the sauce to cool a little, then transfer it to the bowl of a food processor or standard blender (both quick options) or give it a quick smash with a potato masher then use a silicone spatula to pass the sauce through a sieve (harder option but still works!).
- If you would like a smoother consistency you could strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve.
