Chipotle-Mango BBQ Sauce
Mango’s naturally sweet, buttery flesh makes an excellent addition to any BBQ sauce. They add a unexpected balance that holds up to spicy, bold flavors. Its texture, especially in puree form, contributes to an even more velvety, luscious body to your BBQ sauce. Its natural sugars create an ideal opportunity for caramelization on the grill, whether you’re using a gas flame, wood flames or charcoal heat.
