I have always loved mango chutney and when I had my cafe I used to make it regularly and sell by the jar - it was very popular.
It is definitely not a mild chutney it quite hot and spicy from the chilli and ginger but it's very tasty.
It is perfect with a curry, pappadoms or onion bahjis. There are so many uses and it will keep for a year in sterilised jars.
Put the chilli’s, garlic and ginger in a mini food processor or in a pestle and mortar until you get a smooth paste.
Peel and dice the mango.
In a large saucepan put the paste and all the ingredients and mix on a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. I use a jam pan
Bring to the boil then simmer for about 1 hour until it darkens in colour and thickens slightly.
Sterilise the jars and lids in the oven at 140 degrees centigrade (120 fan) faced down on a baking tray for at least 30 minutes.
Pour the chutney into the jars and place the lids on the jars. A jam funnel makes this much easier.
Store in a cool dark place for at least 2 weeks before using.

Sarahs’s extra slice…….
The recipe makes approx 4 x 200ml jars.
I added nigella seeds for more spice and texture but you could leave these out if you don’t have any.
The chutney will thicken as it cools.
