How to make Mango Chutney

Ginger, garlic and red chilies are sauteed in oil and then cumin, coriander, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom are added to coax out their robust flavors. Fresh mango, sugar and vinegar is added and it is slowly cooked down to a sticky and delicious concoction.

Cooking Mango Chutney

Method

Combine the sugar and vinegar in the 6 squart pot. Bring to boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Put a rack on the bottom of a tall, large pot. Place the sealed jars on the rack. Fill the pot with water, covering the jars by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 15 minutes. Remove the jars from the pot and let sit at room temperature to cool.

Tips

If you skip water bath canning, mango chutney will keep in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge for at least 1 month. Just check for mold; if you see any, toss it out. You can also freeze the jars for up to 3 months. Leave 1 inch of headroom to allow the frozen mixture to expand.
