Mango Chutney Recipe

Mango Chutney melds warm spices, sweet fruit, and a dash of vinegar for a savory taste unlike any other! Make it at home in just an hour.


Ingredients

  • 6 cups firm mango 4 medium, fresh or frozen, cubed
  • 1 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 medium red onion diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins sultanas (optional)
  • 1 ginger root 2-inch piece peeled and grated
  • 1 tsp brown mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes or 1 red chili, minced

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a deep saucepan over a medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved and it reaches a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thick and syrupy, about 1 hour. Season to taste with more vinegar or fresh lemon or lime juice.
  2. If a smoother consistency is desired, pulse several times with immersion blender, or use a potato masher.
  3. Ladle into 4 clean and sterilized jars. Store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks or follow the canning instructions to keep in your pantry for up to 18 months.

Canning

  1. Clean the jars and lids with hot soapy water. Fill a large stockpot with enough water to cover your jars by 1-2 inches. Place your rack on the bottom of the pot and transfer to stovetop. Turn heat to medium and place your jars in the pot to keep them hot until ready to fill.
  2. Carefully remove jars from hot water, shaking off excess water. Pour hot mango chutney into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims of jars with a damp paper towel to remove any spill residue. Place a lid on the jar and screw a ring on until finger-tight. Process jars 15 minutes, depending on altitude.

The processing times is for high acid foods based on canning at sea level to 1000 feet. When processing at higher altitudes, adjust the processing time according to the below times.

  • Altitude in Feet >> Increase Processing Time
  • 1,001-3,000 ft above sea level = 5 min
  • 3,001 – 6,000 ft above sea level = 10 min
  • 6,001 – 8,000 ft above sea level = 15 min
  • 8,001 – 10,000 ft above sea level = 20 min

Remove jars from water bath and allow to cool completely and lids pop, letting you know they are sealed.
