Growing up, all our salsa came in a jar. It was always mild, even though everyone in the house that ate salsa, would have preferred a bit more heat. My mom thinks black pepper is too spicy, so nothing “too spicy” was ever allowed in our house.  True story: Whenever we went to a Mexican restaurant growing up, she ordered pizza and french fries off the kids menu because everything else was too spicy. ::insert eye roll::

It actually took me going to college before I would really be able to venture out on my own and try new things, flavor combinations, and ethnic cuisines.  I learned things I did and did not like during this time. Thankfully, all this prepared me for the wonderful and amazing dishes that I would become accustom to eating with Andrew’s family. Delicious recipes like jerk chicken, oxtail, and curry goat became the norm for me. One day Andrew’s mom made salmon with mango salsa. It was amazing. I couldn’t get enough of it. Since then, I’ve put mango on a ridiculous amount of things and every time I wonder why I don’t make it more often.

What Is Mango Salsa?

Mango Salsa is similar to a traditional easy salsa recipe, but swapping the tomatoes for mangoes.  In this fresh mango salsa recipe we combined diced mangoes, red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, red peppers, and lime juice. It is the perfect mango salsa recipe for fish, including our own fish tacos with mango salsa and avocado lime sauce.

Easiest Sweet and Sour Sauce

June 26, 2012 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

Ok…So I have a confession.  Before this recipe, I had never actually tried sweet and sour sauce. *Gasp* According to a friend, this makes me very weird.  Years and years and eating all those McDonalds chicken nuggets and Chinese food, and I’ve never tried sweet & sour sauce…maybe this does make me weird?
However, I recently came across a recipe that called for sweet and sour sauce and immediately was like crap, I don’t have this at my house, how am I going to make this.  I’ve realized recently had an epiphany that many sauces can actually be made at home much easier than buying them.  Even better than that, they usually cost MUCH less and are MUCH healthier when you make them rather than buying it bottled.  So I searched Google, found tons of different recipes and finally put this one together.  Hope you enjoy!
First, start off by adding 1/2 cup each: water, ketchup, sugar, and apple cider vinegar to a cold pan.  Turn on medium heat.
While, that is heating up, mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch ((Updated:  Since first sharing this recipe – we now use arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch)) and 3 tablespoons of cold water.  **It is important you use cold water or you will be left with clumps of cornstarch
Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and quickly stir until completely mixed together.
Let thicken to desired consistency.
That’s it!  Enjoy with your favorite foods!  We love it with this amazing slow cooker Sweet and Savory Pork Loin recipe.
