- Can I use canned mango?
- Yes, but it's usually in sweetened syrup. In that case, omit the sugar from the recipe and add a bit more vinegar.
Sweet & Sour Mango Ginger Sauce
This sauce brings the sun-drenched tropics to your plate. The natural, creamy sweetness of mango and the heat of ginger are a classic pair. During cooking, the mango melts down almost completely, forming a thick, fruity purée that becomes exciting and suitable for savory dishes thanks to the acidity of the vinegar.
