    Author: Melissa Griffiths - Bless this Mess

    Ingredients

    • 3 mangos large, ripe, pit and skins removed and chopped
    • ½ cup sweet onion chopped
    • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • ⅓ cup red bell pepper chopped I like to use small peppers as they are sweeter
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup white vinegar
    • ½ cup water

    Instructions

    • In a medium-sized saucepan, add the mangos, onion, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, red bell pepper, granulated sugar, vinegar, and water.
    • Use a heat proof spoon and mix all ingredients so they are well incorporated and nothing sticks to the bottom of the saucepan.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil (it took about 5 minutes), then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for an additional 20-25 minutes until it thickens and the mangoes are soft and tender.
    • Take the saucepan off the heat and let it cool completely.
    • Place in a jar and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
    • Serve and Enjoy!

    Notes

    • This mango Chutney is excellent served with yogurt for a fun snack, but we truly enjoyed it served with fish (grilled flounder) and a side salad.
    • Storage: up to two months in the fridge or freeze it (you can freeze it in a container or in an ice tray for a more individual portion)
    • Excellent served at room temperature. You don’t need to heat it up.
    • Have fun with the recipe: Make it spicy: Add some red pepper flakes or chopped Jalapenos. However, be careful not to add too much as the vinegar already brings a nice touch of spice without overpowering the mango flavor.
