Mango chutney

[Jacq]

I recently found this recipe for mango chutney. It's delicious, we can' t stop eating it.....
Hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!

Ingredients:
1,5 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
375 ml apple cider vinegar
4 mango's, not ripe yet
2 apples, peeled, cored
500 g light brown sugar
1 ts cardamom
0,5 ts clove powder
0,5 ts nigella seeds
0,5 ts fenugreek
0,5 ts chili flakes
ts cinnamon
250 ml water

Cut apples and mango in small chunks.
Chop onion and garlic 5 seconds speed 7.
Add vinegar and spices, 10 minutes 100 degrees, speed 1.
Add mango's, 15 minutes 100 degrees, speed 1.
Add apples and water, 20 minueta 100 degrees, speed 1.
Add sugar, 60 minutes 100 degrees, speed 1.

The chutney must be quite thick after this, the chunks of mango still recognisable. If
not, allow to cook for another half hour.  Put in sterilised jars.

Hi Jacq,

I am going to make some of your Mango Chutney as soon as our Mango's are ripe enough.  The tree is quite prolific and they usually go to waste.  I notice in your recipe, you say Add Vinegar at the end of your recipe (after you have bottled it).  Could you clarify when the vinegar is supposed to be added.  Much appreciated.

This looks like a good idea for our Xmas hampers!!

Is it ok to use ripe mangoes or do they need to be unripe to succeed?
I have lots of ripe mangoes and would like to try this recipe.

Hi everyone. Sorry, the add vinegar at the end was mistake, never saw it until you guys mentioned it. I deleted that bit. The vinegar has to be added during cooking.

I tried this recipe with ripe and unripe mango's, both give a delicious mango chutney. When you use ripe mango, you have to cook it a bit longer since there is more fluid.

Thanks for the clarification, Jacq.  Is the cardamom powder or whole?  Same for the fenugeek and cinnamon.

Thanks so much Jacq.

I keep eating any mangoes we get.

The spices I used were all powder.

As hubby is a diabetic and I don't really like mangoes, the mangoes sit on the tree and go bad.  This may be a way for me to use them, even if I give it away as gifts.

We go through jars and jars of this chutney, it is that good! It goes beautifully with Chelsea's Chicken Kievs or with curries. I also give a lot of it away as gift, everybody really likes it. Hope you will all like it too.

Jacq this sounds lovely. I'm assuming with ripe mangoes there would be no actual pieces left after that amount of cooking. Also does it matter if you use red or green apples?

[Jacq]

Hi Wonder, I found that it doesn't really matter what type of apples you use, I usually take what I have available. And yes, if you use ripe mango it's much less chunky than if you use unripe mangoes.
