How to Make Traditional Mango Chutney

  1. Peel, seed, and slice 2 lbs ripe mangoes.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sliced mangoes, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup white vinegar, 1 tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground cloves, ¼ tsp ground cardamom, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat, cover the saucepan, and let the chutney stand at room temperature for at least 12 hours (or up to 24 hours for an even more intense flavor).
  6. After the standing period, bring the chutney back to a boil over medium heat.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chutney reaches your desired consistency (it should thicken as it cools).
  8. Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot chutney into sterilized, hot jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  9. Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation. (Optional, but recommended for long-term storage.)
