Now that I’ve got it, what do I do with it? I asked myself that question after I made this mango hot sauce.

Perhaps a better question would have been, when mangoes go on sale and you need to use up all that you bought, why choose mango hot sauce over mango cupcakes?

The original recipe suggested the concoction be considered more so a condiment than a hot sauce, which I can understand as it is not too terribly hot.

Suggestions for use included as a dipping sauce for raw oysters or as an add-in for meatloaf. I have been adding a dash or two to my scrambled eggs. On this Serious Eats list of 25 Things to Do with Hot Sauce, I like the idea of adding hot sauce to punch up the flavor in tartar sauce or mayonnaise.

Adding a few splashes to melted butter before pouring it over popcorn sounds good, as does stirring a bit into a simple syrup to toss with a fruit salad. Enjoy!
