How to Make Mango Citrus Chutney

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine diced mango, white wine vinegar, granulated sugar, finely chopped shallots, grated ginger, minced chiles, lime and orange zest, and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chutney reduces to a thick puree, about 15-20 minutes. The consistency should be similar to a thick jam.
  4. While the chutney simmers, heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add nigella seeds and sauté until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
  6. Add fenugreek seeds and sauté for another 10 seconds. Be careful not to burn the seeds.
  7. Pour the fragrant oil mixture into the chutney and stir well to combine.
  8. **For Canning:** Ladle the hot chutney into two sterilized 8-ounce canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Process in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes. Chutney will have a shelf life of approximately one year.
  9. **For Refrigerator Storage:** Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight jar. Let cool completely before sealing tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
