Step 3: That, my friend, is some damn good mango sauce. Not sure why, but for some reason I want to watch that movie. You know the one with the Jamaican bobsled team? With John Candy? The name escapes me…

Step 4 (photos 4A + 4B): Place your diced pineapple, mango, orange, onion, jalapeno, garlic, and cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze lemon and lime juice over top, and add the remaining tablespoon of mango sauce. Add salt and pepper, if needed.
