    Tips to make best, easy homemade mango compote using fresh mangoes

    • For the best mango compote, make sure to use sweet, ripe and juicy mangoes. If you are using unripe, sour mangoes, you won't get the sweet, delicious mango sauce. To make the best mango sauce, it is so important that you choose the best quality, ripe and sweet mangoes which is the most ingredient in this recipe!

    how to store homemade fresh mango compote?

    If you have any leftover mango compote, you can transfer to clean, dry glass jars with tight lids and keep it refrigerated for about 2 weeks.

    can you make mango sauce or compote using frozen mangoes?

    Yes, you may use mango compote using frozen mangoes too, just make sure to use sweet mangoes in the recipe even if you are using frozen mangoes. If using frozen mango slices, you may thaw the mangoes before making the sauce or if you are using frozen mangoes directly, the cooking time may slightly increase.

    Also, if you are using frozen mangoes, I do not recommend storing the prepared sauce for more than a couple of days even in the refrigerator since it is made from frozen mangoes. So if you are making mango sauce using frozen mangoes, it is a good idea to stick to making a small batch of sauce and use it immediately or keep refrigerated properly in food containers and use within a couple of days!

    Below you can get the recipe for mango sauce in detail.
