Why make this chutney
When you have chutney or preserves in the house, it’s easy to turn out delicious and creative meals. This recipe is colorful, flavorful, and not overly sweet. This chutney is similar to making jam but with much less sugar and lots of added warm spices, including some spicy chilly flakes, for flavor. Most of the ingredients used are simple pantry staples with seasonal semi-ripe mangoes. You can serve chutney over roast or baked chicken. It is also great added to sandwiches and wraps along with cheese or meat. As a kid, I loved to eat this chutney with flatbread and omelet!
Step-by-step: Mango chutney recipe
Mangoes – Peel the mangoes with a vegetable peeler. Then, grate them using the large side of the grater.Pro tip – Use large, firm, semi-ripe mangoes so they are not too hard or too soft.
Combine – In a medium saucepan or pan over medium heat, add all ingredients. Boil – Cook on medium until all the sugar has dissolved. Then, bring to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes. Stir often.Pro tip – At first, the mixture will appear dry. As the sugar melts, it becomes thick and syrupy.
Simmer – Reduce heat and continue to cook on a low simmer for 10 to 30 minutes until thick.Pro tip – You can even throw in a handful of raisins for added sweetness. Cool – When most of the moisture has dried out, cool it in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a sterilized mason jar and store it in the fridge.
Storage
I always refrigerate my chutneys. This mango chutney will last in the fridge, if sealed, for three months. Once opened, use it for four weeks. If you store the chutney in sterilized jars using the canning process, you can store it at room temperature for 12 to 14 months in a cool, dry place in the pantry.
