Mango-Tumeric Tabasco
A bunch of mini peppers waiting for a use, some bits and pieces of turmeric leftover and a very ripe mango staring at us, gave us the bright idea of improving Tabasco style sauce. The turmeric gives the final sauce not only a nice bright color, but an earthiness that melds nicely with the sweetness of the peppers and mango, especially contrasted by the acids of the vinegar and citrus juices.
