Laurels Mango Chutney Recipes

KOKUB'S MANGO CHUTNEY FROM PAKISTAN

Steps:

• Place the mangoes into a large pot. Crush the ginger and garlic using a mortar and pestle until they become a smooth paste; stir the paste into the mangoes. Stir in the sugar, and season with salt, red pepper flakes, cumin seed, cardamom pods and seeds, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Stir to blend, and then cover the pot. Leave the pot sitting out at room temperature overnight.
• The next day, place the pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken, about 30 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and peppercorns; cook for 1 more minute. Cool before using.

REAL INDIAN MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put mango into a large bowl. Sprinkle salt over the mango. Pour water over the mango. Let mango soak for 1 hour to overnight.
• Drain and discard liquid from the mango.
• Stir sugar and vinegar together in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Add drained mango to the liquid; stir to coat. Stir raisins, dates, cinnamon sticks, ginger, garlic, and ground dried chile pepper into the mango mixture; bring again to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer mixture until thickened, about 1 hour. Remove from heat to cool completely.
• Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, chile peppers and salt. Bring to a boil; boil for 1/2 hour.
• Stir in onions, garlic, golden raisins, raisins and ginger and boil for another 1/2 hour.
• Stir in mangos (and almonds if using), reduce heat to low and simmer for 1/2 hour. Pour mixture into sterilized jars, to 1/2 inch below lid level, and seal.

ROB'S MANGO AND CHILLI CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a scalded piece of muslin cloth tie up only the bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom pods and peppercorns together and put into large heavy based pan. Alternatively if you don't have any muslin cloth you can fish the spices out later. Add everything else to the pan along with the spices reserving HALF of the mango, the lime juice and 1 third of the ginger.
• Bring to the boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer until thick and almost no liquid remains.
• Remove the spice bag or spices meant for the muslin spice bag, squeezing out any excess liquid.
• By now you should be able to make a channel through the middle of the pan with a wooden spoon that is not immediately filled with excess liquid.
• Add the reserved mango, ginger and lime juice, bring back to the boil and boil for 1 minute only.
• Divide between sterilized jars, seal and leave to cool.
• Best ever!

LAUREL'S MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine sugar and vinegar in a heavy pot and bring to boil. Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat till thickened, about 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Cool and freeze in containers of your choice. I use 1 pint containers.

MANGO CHUTNEY

MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil over medium high-heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until chutney has reached a thick jam consistency, usually 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Once the chutney has reached the desired consistency, remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Chutney will keep in an airtight nonreactive container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

SUMMER MANGO-MULBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put the mulberries, mango, 1/4 c water and the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Add all the other ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• Allow the chutney to boil till it forms a thick jam, about 20 minutes. Stir often.
• Allow to cool, covered. Refrigerate. Wait a week for the flavors to marry.
• This recipe is small enough that I usually use it up in a few weeks so its not worth the trouble of canning. However, if you have access to more berries I highly recommend canning - the vinegar and sugar make this a perfect dish to preserve for the winter months and would be awesome with turkey at Thanksgiving!
• Variations/Additions: Seeded and chopped jalapeno, diced peaches, shredded apples, raspberries instead of mulberries (may need more sugar), or substitute orange or lemon juice for the ¼ c water. Fresh mint or chopped nuts.
• For an Indian flavor, add ½ tsp panch phoran - equal mix of cumin, fennel, mustard, nigella & fenugreek seeds, fry in a little oil to open up the flavors before adding.
• Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice berries can be added or dried fruit such as cranberries and raisins - but these remind me of fall/winter foods so I do not use them in the summer.
