Boil until the vinegar flavor is lost and the mixture turns a dark amber color.

Add the zest and juice of 1 orange to the pot and reduce the heat.

Chop 2 to 3 mangoes and add them to a food processor or blender.

Pulse the mangoes for a few seconds until blended.

Serve the salsa immediately or refrigerate for 3 to 5 days.
