Mango Habanero Sauce
1 tbsp cooking oil
3 cups (heaping) mangoes. I used frozen cubed mango from Trader Joe's.
1 cup pineapple. Fresh or frozen would work.
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup orange peach mango juice. Orange juice would work as well.
2 large jalapenos (seeded)
2 habaneros (stemmed)
1 medium yellow onion. Chopped.
2 shallots chopped
A splash of beer
A hand full of garlic cloves (add more or less depending on how garlicy you prefer)
Juice from a very juicy lemon (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 sugar
1 tsp salt
In a medium sauce pan heat oil until it begins to smoke then add the sliced shallots and onion. Allow to brown and don't worry if they begin to burn a little. Add sliced chillies and stir for a few minutes then once the chilies are softened add garlic, beer (optional I used it to de-glaze the pan), and fruit. After about 5 minutes add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Once the liquid is boiling reduce the heat to low or med/low. Cover and allow to simmer for 30-45 minutes. Allow to cool then blend smooth. When I make this again I'd double the habaneros and leave out the jalapeno and see how that turns out. The final product is pictured below.
The bonus picture is of the smoked spicy chicken drumsticks which we used as a vehicle for this magical sauce.
Enjoy!
