A luscious, ripe mango doesn’t need much adornment. Cook a little rum and sugar with diced mango and serve over frozen vanilla yogurt for a festive yet simple dessert. Because the fruit varies so much in sweetness, you may want to add sugar, but taste the sauce first.
Melt the butter in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
Add the mangos and sauté over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the fruit is pulpy.
Add the rum and cook over high heat for 1 minute or until the rum becomes syrupy.
Taste the mixture.
If it isn’t sweet enough, add 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar and simmer 1 minute or until the sugar dissolves.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Vary It! You can also double this recipe and store the leftovers in the refrigerator up to three days. Mix the remaining mango-rum sauce with a little pineapple juice in a blender, add ice, and you have a tropical cocktail.
