Mango Compote
Homemade mango compote recipe has just 3 ingredients, can be made with frozen or fresh fruit, and is ready in under 10 minutes. It's a great topping for desserts, crepes, waffles, ice cream, and more.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mango cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Combine the mango, lime juice, and sugar in a small pot over medium heat.
- Once the mango mixture comes to a simmer, reduce to medium-low heat and cook for 5 minutes (or a few minutes extra if using frozen fruit), stirring occasionally until the fruit has broken down and the compote has thickened. You can use a potato masher or a fork to help break the fruit down further if desired. It's ready when the sweet mango sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before transferring the sauce to an airtight container or mason jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
