Green Mango Chutney.

My neighbours Ray and Kay gave me eight green mangoes yesterday and I decided to have a crack at making my own Green Mango Chutney.

The following recipe suits 1kg of Mangoes.

The first thing you do is skin and cut up the cheeks of mango. Weigh this. Today my mangoes came to 1.3kg. To alter the recipe to suit I simply multiplied the measurements x 1.3 to get balance it all out.

What you will need:

• 1kg mangoes
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup of white vinegar
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 100g sultanas
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 small knob of ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon of dry chillies
• 3 cardamom pods

I have not done this yet, but I am thinking 1 bunch of coriander could also be a nice addition.

What you need to do:

1. Place sugar, vinegar into a large pot and bring to the boil. Stir this until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add in the remaining ingredient and simmer for one hour ish. I tend t leave mine on the stove until it all looks soft.
3. Remove the cardamom pods and puree with a blender
4. Place in sterilized jars.
