Mango and Port Chutney
This homemade chutney combines sweet mangoes and rich port wine with onions, raisins, fresh ginger and a hint of chilli. Cooked slowly with sugar and malt vinegar, it develops a thick, glossy consistency ideal for preserving. The recipe yields approximately 5 cups and requires just over 1.5 hours of simmering time. Once sealed in sterilised jars, it can be stored for extended periods, making it a wonderful homemade gift or pantry staple.
Ingredients
- 4 medium mangoes, peeled and coarsely chopped (1.7kg)
- 3/4 cup port wine
- 2 large white onions, chopped finely (400g)
- 1 cup coarsely chopped raisins (170g)
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 fresh Thai red chili peppers, chopped finely
- 2 cups sugar (440g)
- 3 cups malt vinegar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
Method
- Place all the ingredients into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over the heat, without allowing it to boil, until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered, giving it an occasional stir, for about 1-1/2 hours or until it has thickened sufficiently.
- Carefully spoon the hot chutney into hot, sterilised jars. Seal the jars immediately while the contents are still hot.
- For storage, keep the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to about 6 months. Once opened, store the chutney in the refrigerator.
