My go-to sauce, and easy to make. The sweetness of the mango delights before the bite of the pepper kicks in. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this and substituted the scotch bonnets for Boonie peppers from Guam and it turned out terrific. I liked the mustard/curry flavor and have used it on quite a few things.
