Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mango |
| 2 | Cider vinegar |
| 1/2 | Brown sugar |
| 1/2 | Onion |
| 1/2 | Green chili peppers |
| 1 | Ground cardamom |
| 2 | Ground cinnamon |
| 2 | Salt |
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a nonreactive saucepan, combine all of the chutney ingredients: diced mango, cider vinegar, brown sugar, finely chopped onion, sliced green chili peppers, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, and salt.
-
Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
-
Simmer: Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer gently, uncovered, for approximately 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Thicken: As the chutney simmers, it will gradually thicken and become translucent. Continue cooking until it reaches the desired consistency, ensuring it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature. Alternatively, you can chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing twist.
-
Serve or Store: Once cooled, transfer the chutney to a tightly sealed container. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. For extended preservation, you can also can the hot chutney in sterilized jelly jars and seal them with hot sterilized lids. No need for a hot water bath, as the combination of sugar and vinegar acts as a natural preservative.
👩🍳 Chef’s Tips:
- Adjust the spiciness of the chutney by increasing or decreasing the amount of green chili peppers to suit your taste preferences.
