Chef’s Note:
*To cut a mango; first make a cut on the bottom so the fruit is able to stand. Then cut to remove the top part of the fruit. From bottom up, peel the mango removing only the skin. Once all skin is removed, cut from top to bottom, following the seed path.
A Scotch bonnet is also known as a Caribbean hot pepper.
**Chef’s Tip:
Cointreau can be replaced with triple sec or more of your favorite tequila if a stronger flavor profile is preferred.
