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.
Method
- Make the sugar vinager syrup
Combine the sugar and vinegar in the 6 squart pot. Bring to boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the remaining ingridentas and simmer:
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, until syrupy and slightly thickened, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally during cooking.
- Pour into jars:
Pour into clean, hot jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace; close the jars. (Do not over-tighten the lids.)
- For shelf stable storage, proces in a water bath:
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.
