Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for this sauce. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their tartness. Cook the cranberries just until they start to pop, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of spices: This recipe uses a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but you can also add other spices like cloves, allspice, or cardamom.
  • Add a little sweetness: The sweetness of the mango balances out the tartness of the cranberries. You can also add other sweeteners like sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Serve warm or cold: This sauce can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, be sure to reheat it gently over low heat.

Conclusion:

This mango cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sauce, give this mango cranberry sauce a try.
