Sweet & Spicy Mango BBQ Sauce

| Mango BBQ Sauce |
Making homemade BBQ sauce is surprisingly, ridiculously easy. And the only reason I hadn't tried whipping up a liquid version of Lay's finger-licking good powdered seasoning yet is because every list of ingredients seem to call for this scary, unpronounceable ingredient: Worcestershire sauce. Heck, I even have trouble spelling it without Google correcting me. It isn't a condiment staple in my Asian pantry, so no one in my family every bothered buying a bottle of the stuff. Not only is it a twist to handle on the tongue, its flavor is also quite unique. I haven't been able to find anything to substitute for it so far, so... every BBQ recipe just got pushed down further on my culinary bucket list.
This recipe really came up on a whim, because I planned a 24h of slow-cooking pork shoulder and made pulled pork, only to realize that it might need some sauce to go with it. ...and imagine my surprise when I fell on a recipe that did not list the-one-that-cannot-be-named.
It has a tropical twist to it as there is mango purée, and the sweet-and-spicy result is AMAZING with pulled pork or turkey. I'll take a gamble and say that it's probably pretty great as a glaze on grilled meat as well. In fact, I could imagine substituting the mango purée with passionfruit for a hint of floral touch... Future project in hatching!
