Servings: 11 ounces
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
Simple Syrup - enough to make ¾ cup syrup
- ½ cup sugar (use caster or superfine sugar if possible)
- ½ cup water
Mango Puree
- 1 mango (preferably 1 large Ataulfo mango - enough for 1 cup of chunks - or use 1 cup of frozen mango chunks)
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- Add the sugar to your blender. If you are not using caster or superfine sugar, pulse blend the dry sugar into more of a powder to make it easier to dissolve.
- Add the water into the blender and pulse to mix. When the sugar looks like it has dissolved, you can pour the simple syrup into another container and set it aside.
Mango Puree and Nectar (Fresh Mango)
- If you are using fresh mango, cut up your mango into chunks until you have about a cup of mango chunks. Add the chunks into your blender and pulse to puree.
- Add ¾ cup of the simple syrup in with the mango puree and reseal the blender. Pulse blend until everything is mixed and smooth.
Mango Puree and Nectar (Frozen Mango)
- If you are using frozen mango chunks, don't try to blend them by themselves. Add in ¾ cup simple syrup along with the mango chunks, and pulse to blend until smooth.
Storage
- Using a funnel, pour the finished nectar into a resealable container, like a swing-top bottle. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it into cubes.
