Now, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this flavorful sauce:
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 medium-sized ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
With your ingredients set, let’s roll into the instructions. It’s simple, trust me!
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced mango, sugar, water, and salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything together.
- Bring that pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes—or until the cranberries pop, and the sauce thickens up a bit. Stir it occasionally to avoid any sticking.
- If you’re feelin’ fancy, toss in that cinnamon and lime juice, and give it another stir. Let it simmer for a few more minutes, then take it off the heat.
- Let your sauce cool down to room temperature, and it’ll thicken even more. Once cool, transfer it to a bowl and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
And just like that, you got yourself a fresh and zesty Mango Cranberry Sauce that’ll have folks coming back for more. Serve it up alongside your holiday feast, or enjoy it as a topping on your favorite desserts. Sweeten up your get-togethers with this delightful sauce. Happy cooking!
