a slightly smoky and very fruity BBQ sauce for dipping and frying

Trim the ends of the onions and garlic cloves, peel, and chop into small pieces. Wash the mangoes, trim a piece from each end, peel with a vegetable peeler, and fillet the flesh from the core. Cut the thick fillets into approximately 6 mm thick cubes. Heat a medium-sized pan, add the olive oil, and let it heat through. Add the onions and garlic cloves and sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the mango pieces and roast for 3 minutes. Then deglaze the vegetables and fruit with the tomato juice. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another 5 minutes. If desired, season the sauce with sambal oelek and a drop of liquid smoke. Then season to taste with salt and pepper. Use the fruity BBQ sauce immediately or transfer it to a sterile jar with a screw top and metal lid. Cover the sauce with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 2 weeks.
