Mango Chutney – An easy condiment that is great with chicken, fish, shrimp, sandwiches and as a dip. Made with sweet juicy ripe mangoes, ginger, peppers, coriander, cinnamon and more. A condiment with complex flavors that blends well together!

Mango Chutney

You most likely think of mangoes as great in smoothies and salsa.The good news is that there are many more options available to help you re-discover this summer produce which is a favorite of mine. Do you know that one great way to use it up is by making chutneys at home?

 

What is Mango Chutney?

Have you ever tried making chutney? It’s a great condiment to have around the house. It‘s sweet and spicy! Works well as spread on sandwiches, for dips and great accompaniment to barbecues and baked proteins. An additional bonus is that you can use a variety of fruits to make chutney.

Not to be confused with jams, chutneys are more complex consisting of three main components:

  •  Acidity – (partly due to vinegar or lime)
  • Spicy – ginger, garlic, peppers and an array of spices, used according to an individual’s preference and/or spice tolerance level.
  • Sweetness – comes from the fruit and/or the added sugar.

See how flavorful it is? It’s complex, yet the flavors meld beautifully into one.

 Mango Chutney

All of these ingredients fused together form one heck of a a tasty condiment. That will surely make anyone take notice. I bet you would!

The best part? It is easy to put together! Simply throw everything in a saucepan, bring to a boil and let it simmer until it thickens up. How’s that for EASY?

Mango Chutney

Now is a good time to try this Mango Chutney, with the abundance of mangoes this time of the year. They are everywhere (and are dirt cheap). Or just use pineapple chunks, frozen or canned works just as well.

Mango Chutney

 

I made the mango chutney paleo. I used coconut sugar and lemon juice in place of the vinegar and it doesn’t disappoint, so if you want a paleo option you can switch up the sugar.

A great  tasting way to enjoy this as a snack is by topping a piece of bread with smashed avocados and chutney. It is a great appetizer!

Enjoy!!

 

Tips and Notes:

  1. You can eat mango chutney as a sandwich spread, on crackers with proteins like pork chops and even as a salad dressing mixed with mayo and a bit of curry.
  2. You can also explore other chutney flavors like, raisin, tamarind, citrus fruit, peach and apricot.
  3. Make sure to use non-reactive pots when making chutneys as the acids in the mixture will react with the pot thus adding a sort of metallic taste to your chutneys.
  4. You can use green mangoes, too. Adjust sugar if you want to amp the sweetness.
  5. Sterilize and clean the jars before storing chutney in it.

    Using multiple types of vinegar gives the balance of any chutney a nice kick of flavor. Using white vinegar is boring.

    I like to mix rice wine, red wine, apple cider and white wine vinegars.

    For this chutney recipe I used Rice, White & apple cider vinegars. The flavor explosion is amazing!

    Try adding some red pepper flake for a kick of heat, roasted veggies instead of plain cut veggies.

    Do you think the finished chutney could be frozen for use during the winter?

      Hi, Mariger! I haven’t tried using green mangoes for chutney using this recipe. Sweet ones are preferred for this recipe as they complement well with the pineapples.

        No, the answer is no, green magos have a completely different flavor from ripe ones (one that won’t complement right into the chutney), also they have no natural sugars in then so here won’t be a flavor contrast in the chutney which is always sought for in these kind of preparations, plus the consistency of green mangos is too hard so they won’t go well or mix well into the chutney, so definitely is no go, also the green color won’t look too well or appealing in the chutney. If you don’t have ripe mangos, you can easily and quickly make them ripe wrapping them on newspaper or magazine sheets, and placing them in a warm spot of your house, they will ripe within 2-3 days according to your house temperature and the degree of initial green of the mangos.
