Mango & lime cooked sauce
A smooth golden fruit sauce made by gently simmering ripe mango and finishing with lime.
Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Dice mango flesh into small even pieces. Put mango, water and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cover loosely and simmer 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until mango crushes easily. Keep the mixture moist and reduce heat if it catches; retain all fruit and liquid.
- Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Cool for 10 minutes, then use an immersion blender in a tall heatproof container to blend smoothly, keeping the head submerged to avoid splashes.
- Divide into eight equal portions. Refrigerate within 2 hours, use within 3-4 days or freeze. This is a refrigerated sauce, not a canning recipe; accompaniments are separate.

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Each ingredient retains its primary food description and state. All listed ingredient masses are counted; cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions or explicitly counted items define the stated recipe yield. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero. One eighth of all sauce; evaporation changes final weight, not serving count. Use compatible sugar processing for vegan preference; labels and handling determine dietary suitability.
