Ingredients

  • 2 -2 12 cups strawberries, fresh, rough chopped (frozen will also work, but please thaw)
  • 2 cups mangoes, fresh rough chopped (same thing, frozen is ok, but please thaw first)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I use light brown)
  • 1 tablespoon rum (golden rum)
  • honey, to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon)
  • 18 cup water
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • Fruit -- Now this is a basic NO recipe -- recipe.
  • It can be made with more or less strawberries or mango and even pineapple.
  • About 4 cups (more or less fruit is what you need).
  • Fresh peaches, blueberries, cherries - all fresh fruit works for this.
  • Keep the sugar the same, but more or less honey depending on how sweet you like it.
  • It really depends on the sweetness of your fruit.
  • Also, rum, I like golden rum, but if you don't want alcohol -- use an extract or even use almond extract, that is a nice flavor.
  • I happen to like rum in mine.
  • Just add everything but the rum (or extract) in a small pot and simmer on medium low for about 15 minutes (uncovered).
  • Then add the rum or extract and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Done!
  • The fruit will be broken down and you can even mash it up a bit more if you want with a fork or a potato masher.
  • It just depends how you like it as far as the texture goes.
  • I like mine a bit chunky.
  • Serve -- Pour over cheese blintzes, waffles, pancakes, great with monte cristo sandwiches, over ice cream, and french toast.
  • Easy to make ahead and then just reheat in the microwave.
  • ENJOY!
