Don’t be fooled by the name! This is a thick, decadent cooking sauce. The chipotle pepper is the star here—yielding an earthy fruitiness that pairs perfectly with the juicy mango. Shreds of the fruit punctate the sauce, lightening the sauce’s overall character, but not in a way that’s too acidic. It’s been cooked and reduced, so the fruit is sweeter, more stewed character— not bright and acidic and tropical.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
This sauce is great as a glaze for roasting or grilling meat—try it in spooned atop our Slashed Chicken instead of the listed accoutrements or our Chili-Garlic Roasted Whole Cauliflower in place of the rub. It also makes a great marinade with some salt and a splash of lime.
