Course: Sauces
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 100 ml red wine vinegar
  • 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 150 g white sugar 3/4 cup
  • 1 kg mangoes flesh only and coarsely chopped
  • 3-4 cm piece of ginger peeled and finely chopped
  • ½ tsp crushed chilli
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 tsp coriander seed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin seed
  • 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Assemble ingredients
  2. In your saucepan heat your vinegars and sugar to boiling point
  3. Add all the spices, mango and salt
  4. Return the saucepan to boiling before turning the heat down for a slow simmer
  5. Check flavour profile
  6. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking
  7. When you are happy with the thickness remove the cloves
  8. Seal in your refrigerator for the short term or bottle for long term storage (see separate method)
Preparing bottles for chutney and finishing
  1. This recipe required two 450 -500g jam jars. The jars need to be in good condition, clean, label free and have a screw cap. Jars that have been previously used for jam or pickles are fine. While you can use your oven to sterilise the bottles and caps, an alternate way is the boiling water/hot seal method, which I used.
  2. In a suitably sized saucepan, immerse the empty jars and lids in cold water and bring the water to the boil.
  3. Simmer for 15 -20 minutes
  4. Leave in the water on low heat until you are ready to use the bottles
  5. When the chutney is ready to bottle carefully drain and remove the first jar from the hot water. It should dry quickly
  6. Using a ladle fill the jar to about 2-3ml from the top, carefully clean the rim
  7. Take the lid from the hot water (again it will dry quickly) and cap the bottle

Notes

If you prefer a darker chutney use brown sugar instead of white
Change vinegars to suit your tastes
I used ground spices, which is what I had
I used less sugar than the 150g because I had made a ginger syrup and strained out the ginger
