Notes
This recipe makes approximately four 250ml jars of mango chutney (a little over 4 cups altogether).
Storage
You want to store the mango chutney in sterilized jars with a sealed lid.I use 250ml (8.5oz) Kilner jars <affiliate link.They can be kept in sealed jars in the refrigerator unopened for around 2-3 months.Once opened, so long as it's kept covered and refrigerated in between uses, it should last around a month.
Ingredients Swaps
Change this up by varying the amount of spices to suit your tastes.You can add a freshly chopped chilli or a tsp of minced ginger to give the mango chutney a kick of heat.
