Strawberry-Mango Margarita Compote
Mangoes and strawberries make a magical marriage. Splashes of tequila, Triple Sec and lime add a subtle kick to the mix. For a nonalcoholic or kid-friendly version, substitute fresh orange juice for the tequila and Triple Sec.
Ingredients
-
2 cups halved or quartered hulled strawberries
-
2 cups diced mango, (2 small or 1 large)
-
2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste, plus more for dipping
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1 1/2 tablespoons tequila
-
1 1/2 tablespoons Triple Sec, or other orange liqueur
Directions
1.
Place strawberries, mango, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, tequila and liqueur in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. Let stand for 20 minutes for the flavors to meld. If desired, serve in margarita glasses: rub the rims with additional lime juice and dip in sugar, then spoon in compote.
Tip:
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
