It’s mango time. I have two Haden mango trees on my property. They are old and they are big. Last year I had them trimmed back a bit to reduce the mess they make. Big mistake; this year I got more mangoes than ever. Read more Last Saturday I gathered up about 5 gal of the ones I wanted for chutney and had the boys fill a wheelbarrow with the rest and park it by the road with a sign saying “FREE MANGOES”. There will be another wheelbarrow full next weekend. Obviously, I'm going to make a lot of chutney but I kept this recipe manageable. I posted Shiva’s Mango Chutney last year Shivas Mango Chutney/saved & that’s a nice, easy to make, very tasty chutney. However, Moke’s wife Fipe and I were comparing notes and came up with this recipe; which we tried out with a few of the very early mangoes. This is a bit more work but, if you like chutney, it is an awesome brew. In the meantime, if you want some mangoes, stop by next weekend and take what you want from the wheelbarrow. See less

How to make it
- 1. Peel the mangoes & cut into cubes. Actually, this is the hardest part. See Photo
- 2. Put the mangoes, water & spices into a stainless steel pot and bring to a simmer. See Photo
- 3. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring very gently a few times.
- 4. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer again.
- 5. Simmer for about 25 – 30 minutes, stirring very gently a few times See Photo. You don’t want to turn this into glop.
- 6. Fish out the pieces of cinnamon stick.
- 7. Place in sterilized jars. See Photo
- You may want to adjust the amount of water to get a nice stiff consistency, or one that suits you.
- You may need more or less sugar, depending on how sweet your mangoes are and how sweet you like your chutney.
- If you put this in sterilized jars while it is still bubbling hot the un-opened jars will last eons. Keep any jar that has been opened in the fridge and it will last longer than your family and friend will allow it to. See Photo
