directions

SYRUP:
- In a large saucepan, add all the syrup ingredients, stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until it reduces to a third, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and strain the syrup through a fine sieve placed over a bowl, pressing down on the ingredients to release more liquid; discard the solids and set aside.
-
SAUCE:
- In a large pot over medium heat, add oil and when it starts shimmering, add onions and habanero peppers; sauté until they get soft, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and cook for 30 seconds before adding garlic; sauté ingredients for 1 minute only. Add mango, stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, process until somewhat smooth.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the sauce to a glass bowl or a heatproof container. Let it cool off before covering and transferring to the fridge until needed.
