I love to make my own sauces for everything, when possible, and I've always wanted to try my hand at a sauce that features mangoes as the main ingredient. Mangoes offer such a subtle, sweet flavor that just begs for creative uses. The creative use for today was in the form of a spicy and sweet sauce that just screams summer.
