Gingered Mango-Habanero Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream...mmmmm

I found this recipe for a sweet mango habanero sauce that is a good dip for chicken and amazingly its really good on ice cream. I wasn't sure about trying that at first, but it really does kick ass.
(this recipe isn't mine, it's borrowed from Cookingdebauchery.com )

Gingered Mango-Habanero Sauce

4 large mangoes or 6 smaller ones
1 ripe habanero pepper [1]
½ cup lemon or lime juice
a 3 inch piece of ginger, grated [2]
¼ - ¾ cups of raw sugar
1-2 cups water or apple juice


Remove the stem from the habanero and toss into the food processor whole. Pulse the processor on and off until the chile is in tiny pieces. This is best done in a mini food processor or chopper.

Peel the mango and remove the flesh from the pit. Add to the food processor with the habanero and process until the mango is completely smooth.

Pour the mixture into a medium sized saucepan and set on low heat.[3] Add all of the lime juice and ginger. Add a quarter of the cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Mix until the mixture is loose.

Bring to a boil and continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened again. About a half hour to forty-five minutes. Taste and adjust the sugar. She sauce should be pleasantly sweet but not cloying. If a thinner sauce is desired, add some of the remaining water or juice.

Allow to cool and refrigerate over night.

Use either as a dipping sauce, marinade or dessert sauce.

[1] Underipe habaneros are green. They ripen to a startling array of colors from white to bright red. If a hotter sauce is desired two habaneros may be used.

[2] I freeze my ginger to make it easier to peel and grate. The frozen ginger is not as fibrous and produces a very fine, almost invisible shred on my Microplane grater.

[3] Use a larger saucepan than necessary as the mango has a tendency to splatter leaving colorful yellow spots everywhere. Like on your cat. Cats do not appreciate being mango napalmed. Trust me.

mmmmmm:onfire:

Try it and let me know what you think. It's not overwhelmingly hot, but its not supposed to be. It starts off fruity and sweet but then the heat creeps in. The ice cream defuses a bit of the heat so even my girlfriend liked it (i used a big ass hab, it still burns too bad for her on chicken :mouthonfire:).

But tomorrow I'll post up the jerk chicken recipe along with this sauce in the recipe section. Here's the link to where I found the jerk chicken recipe for those who can't wait.I made the sauce from the jerk chicken recipe too, but I didn't like it very much. The ginger one is much better.

Oh you bastard! That should have a "not safe for work" warning! How am I supposed to face that silly salad I have for lunch now?
 
Now all I have to do is add Peppermaster's Chili Chocolate sauce and a habanero cherry sauce and I can think about making the hellfire banana split.
 
I finally found some good mangoes, so I'm going to make this sauce tonight. I grabbed a couple of pork chops to try it on the grill tomorrow night. I'll get some ice cream tomorrow.

I've have that same problem at work. People call me crazy (which isn't that far from the truth) for putting hot sauce on breakfest cereal and ice cream, and everything. Defcon Defense Condition ZERO geos great mixed into milk and Wheaties[sp?].
