Spicy Tropical Wing Sauce Recipe

My Tropical Wing Sauce

Since it isn't gardening season, I haven't been blogging much; however, I finally got around to a cooking project that I had in mind for some time, making my own barbeque sauce from scratch. Of course, I had to stray from the traditional a little, and I ended up with a thick, fruity sauce, with plenty of heat- perfect to go with my favorite Morningstar Farms veggie chicken nuggets. The verdict was unanimous in declaring this sauce guilty of being extremely addictive. I didn't follow a recipe when creating it, but I kept track of what I put in, so that I could pass it on, if it turned out well, and, it did!

Ingredients:
2.5 cups chopped, frozen or fresh mangos (I used frozen)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbs salt
2 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs onion powder
2 Tbs red pepper flakes
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
1 small bottle V8 Splash tropical flavor (pineapple and mango)

Add all ingredients to a blender and puree. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Turn heat down to a simmer and continue cooking the sauce until it reduces to your desired thickness (for me this was about 45 minutes). Add water if it gets too thick. Add salt and black pepper to taste after the cook. Pour in mason jars and use within 2 weeks.
