Ingredients

3 mangoes diced into chunks, skin removed
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice optional

Instructions

Prepare the mango by slicing into sections away from the stone. Cut into chunks, so you are left with the flesh. Discard the mango skin.
Add all the ingredients to a pot and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango has softened and begun to break down. To break down further you can use a fork to slightly mash it. Cook for longer for a softer more puree-like consistency.

Notes

Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste. If you have a sweet tooth you may like a dash more!
Include lemon juice. If citrus works for you, then it will give a little acidity to your compote.
Cook for longer. If you simmer for 10 minutes, you will get a nice quite chunky mango compote. For those who prefer a more 'sauce-like' consistency, cook down for another 5 minutes or so.
Add a hint of spice. Like even more flavor? Include a small pinch of ground ginger or cardamom.
