  • 250 grams quality flower honey
  • 1 lime juice freshly squeezed
  • salt to taste

  4. Chop onions and garlic roughly
  5. Put all ingredients in a pot over medium heat, add water to cover and bring to a boil
  6. Reduce heat and leave to simmer uncovered for 45 minutes. Consider going out for some fresh air during this step
  7. Turn off heat and blend everything thoroughly and CAREFULLY using an immersion blender
  8. Stir in apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice and salt

Recipe Notes

For a slightly lesser burn, carefully remove seeds and seed membranes from the chilies.
Be careful when cutting the mangoes. The flesh is slippery and the pit is irregularly sized. After peeling, cut off a small piece of flesh on one side to give you a level surface to work on. Lay the mango on this surface and proceed carefully using a very sharp knife.
