This recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy as the succulent flavors of ripe mangos balances out the heat of habanero peppers and the acidity of the vinegar. Methocel F50 is used to thicken and stabilize in this recipe because it provides the amount of cling when you want the mango habanero sauce to hug every nook and cranny. Our favorite? Chicken wings, of course!

Two questions: Can I use frozen mango?; How would you convert this to a fermented hot sauce?

we prefer a fresh mango because we can control how ripe and sweet they are when going into the sauce but you can certainly use frozen if that is more convenient. Replace the vinegar with a salt water brine and ferment for 14 days because of the extra sugar in the mango. Also remove the added sugar from the recipe. Once the fermentation is done and the blending happens, you can add the sugar back at that point. Make sure to store in the refrigerator once finished.

Can you canned this sauce using a hot water bath, to preserve, Thanks.

yes you can, but be aware that heating the sauce to can and preserve it will also stop all natural fermentation and could alter the flavor as a result.
