Mangoes are in season just before Christmas here in Ecuador, those lovely rosey red, sweet fruits that remind me of sunset back home. Besides loving them in salads, I also love making a chutney with them, great with cheese and cold meats over the Christmas holiday. I hope you like it too.
Ingredients
- 6 x mangoes (large size) peeled and chopped into cubes
- 1tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 50gms brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 large thumb size piece of fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 red (hot) chilli finely chopped (add more if you like hotter)
- 1 lime freshly squeezed (limes are tiny here so have a couple more on hand just in case you need them)
- Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Allow to simmer over a gentle heat for around 40 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
- Stir occasionally so sugar doesn’t catch in pan.
- Leave to cool completely before placing into sterilised jars. Store in a dark cupboard.
