    There is something about mangoes that is just so good. I can't think of anything better than a sweet ripe mango, except maybe this delicious homemade mango compote. We love compotes around here, like this strawberry compote, peach compote, and apple compote, and for good reason too, they're a great topping for your favorite sweet breakfast food. They make good things taste even better. It's a nice alternative to maple syrup when you're in the mood for something a little different.

    ❤️ Things to Love About This Recipe

    • It's quick! You can have this done and on the table in 15 minutes or less.
    • It's versatile. It's great as a topping on pancakes, waffles, and French toast or as a filling in crepes. It's also tasty as a topping for yogurt (use it in place of berries in this yogurt parfait). It's not just for breakfast though. We love it as a dessert topping for ice cream or cake.
    • It's make ahead friendly. It will keep in an airtight container in your fridge for up to two weeks. So you can make it this weekend and have it ready to go when time is short.

    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice. The juice from one small lemon.

      We just tried this recipe, and couldn’t be happier. Tastes great when I paired it with some crepes.

      The sweet mango flavor combined with its slightly firm & soft texture makes it perfect for a variety of recipes.

      Great with ice cream too 🙂
