Instructions
Combine mangoes, ginger, garlic, onions, jalapenos, bell pepper, ginger, and spices in a large stainless steel saucepan. Then add sugar, vinegar, and water.

Notes
Make sure to use a non-reactive pot (not aluminum) when making the recipe for mango chutney, as the acids in the mixture will react with the saucepan, giving your chutney a slightly metallic taste.
You can serve this chutney as soon as you make it, but the flavors meld beautifully after sitting for a few hours. Chill it in the fridge for six hours or overnight so the flavors can get the party started.
Pureeing your chutney in a blender creates a smooth, sauce-like consistency. It makes a yummy hot sauce for chicken wings or a great sandwich topping!
