Ingredients
Scale
For the Sauce:
- 0.25 cup Raw Honey
- 0.25 cup Mango Puree
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 whole Habanero Pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
For Garnish (Optional):
- 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the raw honey, mango puree, soy sauce, minced garlic, finely diced habanero pepper, lime juice, and ground coriander. This forms the flavorful base of your sauce.
- Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with water until smooth to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce evenly without lumps.
- Cook the Sauce: Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the other ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. Optionally, stir in the finely chopped cilantro for a fresh, herbal note before serving.

- This sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Great for glazing grilled chicken, drizzling over roasted vegetables, or using as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
