Note
Yield: You should have approximately 3 1/2 cups of purée before straining. The final yield after straining may vary depending on the fiber content of the mangoes.
Storage: Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays or a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before use.
Variations: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Tip: Ensure the mangoes are fully ripe for the best flavor and smoothest texture. Under-ripe mangoes may result in a grainier sauce.
