Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Caribbean
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 1/2 cup sugar
  4. 1/4 cup lime juice
  5. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the mangoes. Take 2 ripe mangoes, peel them, and dice them into small pieces. Make sure to remove the pit and any fibrous parts to ensure a smooth texture in the final dish.
  2. In your Instant Pot, add the diced mangoes along with 1 cup of water. This will help to create a smooth consistency when cooking.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the Instant Pot. This will balance the tartness of the lime juice and enhance the natural sweetness of the mangoes.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice. This will give the dish a refreshing sour note that complements the sweetness of the mangoes.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. The salt will enhance the overall flavor and bring out the sweetness and acidity of the mango and lime.
  6. Stir the ingredients in the Instant Pot to combine them well. Ensure that the sugar is dissolved and the mangoes are evenly coated with the lime juice and salt.
  7. Close the Instant Pot lid securely and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting and set the cooking time for 10 minutes.
  8. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 5 minutes. After that, carefully switch the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
  9. Once the pressure is fully released, open the lid and stir the mango mixture. You should have a thick, syrupy consistency.
  10. Let the mango sour cool for a few minutes. You can serve it warm or refrigerate it to serve chilled. It can be enjoyed as a topping for desserts, a refreshing sauce, or even a unique drink mix.
  11. For an added touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lime before serving.

Tips

  1. Choose the Right Mangoes: For the best flavor, select ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. This ensures a naturally sweet and flavorful dish.
  2. Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer a less sweet version, feel free to reduce the sugar. Start with 1/4 cup and adjust according to your preference.
  3. Lime Juice Freshness: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice for a brighter, more vibrant flavor. Bottled lime juice can be more acidic and less aromatic.
  4. Enhance with Spices: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of ginger when mixing the ingredients. This will add a warm, aromatic touch to your mango sour.
  5. Serving Suggestions: Serve your mango sour warm over vanilla ice cream or chill it and use it as a topping for pancakes or waffles. It also makes a fantastic addition to cocktails!
  6. Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It can be reheated gently or enjoyed cold.
  7. Garnish Creatively: Elevate your presentation by garnishing with fresh mint leaves, a slice of lime, or even a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a tropical flair.
