Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the seed. Dice the mango flesh into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Cook the mixture for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mangoes become soft and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. For a chunkier texture, mash the mixture with a fork instead of blending.
Step 7
If using butter for a silkier texture, return the spread to the saucepan over low heat, stir in the butter until fully melted and incorporated, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the mango spread cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Step 9
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve on toast, pancakes, or use as a dessert topping.
