Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 Cups Mangos 3-4 Large
  • 1/4 tsp Stevia substitute 1 heaping tsp sugar in the raw
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice fresh or concentrate
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice fresh or concentrate
  • 1/4 cup Water add more if necessary
  • 1/8 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Corn starch optional for thickening
  • 1 tsp Water optional for thickening

Method
 

Combine ingredients and start simmering:
  1. In a 2qt saucepan, combine chopped mango, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Set over medium heat.
Cook down:
  1. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally so it doesn't scorch on the bottom. Cook until the mango softens and breaks down and the liquid reduces.
Sweeten to taste:
  1.  Stir in 1/4 teaspoon stevia powder, to start (add more in 1/16 tsp increments to taste). Taste, and add more stevia in small increments if needed — it's much easier to add more than to fix an oversweet batch.
    2. Do not use stevia "baking mixes", use the granular style stevia powder. PYURE granulated sugar substitute is ideal.
Mash or blend:
  1. For a chunky compote, mash with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. For a smooth sauce, blend with an immersion blender or run through a food mill.
Thicken (optional):
  1. If you want it thicker, whisk 1 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening) into 1 teaspoons cold water (to mix with cornstarch) and stir into the simmering sauce, cooking 1-2 more minutes until it thickens slightly.
Finish and cool:
  1. Let cool, then transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate. Use within 5-7 days for best quality and food safety.
