I absolutely love the combination of sweet and savory. There are actually quite a few recipes on Delicious Little Bites that highlight this flavor profile – even a similar Raspberry Barbecue Sauce! It just works so well, especially with fruits and meats.

I originally made this Mango Barbecue Sauce to use on sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches. It might sound a bit strange, but they were so good. Now, we use this sauce on a variety of meats and seafood. It’s always a delicious choice!

Why This Recipe Works

  • Making homemade barbecue sauce is actually quick and easy. It tastes so much better than store bought sauces and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
  • This Mango Barbecue sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
  • You can use this sauce on a variety of foods. We especially love it with chicken and pork.

How to Make Mango Barbecue Sauce

Prep!

You will need to first cut the mango into smaller chunks.

Tip: Cutting a mango can be tricky. If you’re not a mango-cutting pro, you might want to use a mango cutter, or follow the tutorial on how to cut a mango in my recipe for Spicy Mango Lime Chutney.

Create!

Tips and Techniques for the Best Mango Barbecue Sauce

  • Use fresh mango for the best results.
  • Store extra sauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within a week for best results.

FAQ’s

  • What do you use Mango Barbecue Sauce on? Some uses of Mango Barbecue Sauce include chicken, pork, shrimp, or even breakfast sandwiches.
  • Can you use frozen mango to make this barbecue sauce? I have not personally tested this recipe using frozen mango. If you would prefer to use frozen mango rather than fresh, I would recommend allowing it to thaw first and drain off any excess liquid before adding it to the blender.
