Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful BBQ sauce combining the sweet tropical punch of ripe mango with the fiery heat of habanero peppers, perfect for summer grilling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 small habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the ripe mango into chunks. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes from the habanero pepper and chop finely.
  2. Add the mango chunks, chopped habanero, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to a blender.
  3. Pulse and blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even mixing.
  4. Pour sauce into a bowl and taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more habanero for heat, brown sugar for sweetness, or vinegar for acidity as desired.
  5. Optionally, let the sauce rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Transfer sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate if not using immediately. Keeps well for up to two weeks.

Notes

Handle habanero peppers with care; remove seeds for milder heat and wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use fully ripe mangoes for best sweetness and flavor. Adjust vinegar and sugar slowly to balance flavors. For a chunkier texture, blend less. Sauce can be thinned with water or extra vinegar if too thick. Store in fridge up to two weeks. Use vegan Worcestershire sauce to keep recipe vegan.
