Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small chunks. Set them aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the dark brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Gently mix in the diced mangoes, raisins, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, chili flakes (if using), and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Allow it to cook for 35–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chutney thickens and the mangoes break down.
Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or chili flakes if needed.
Once the chutney reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney to sterilized glass jars and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
