This homemade mango chutney is a perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and tang, making it a versatile condiment for your summer meals.
Juicy ripe mangoes pair with golden raisins, dried apricots, and a touch of lime to create a rich, fruity base. The addition of fresh ginger, warm cinnamon, and allspice gives it a zesty kick that makes every bite pop.
After cooking down the mango and spices to a jam-like consistency, it’s ready to be stored in jars for later or served right away. The chutney is great with grilled meats, spooned over cheeses, or added to sandwiches for an extra burst of flavor.
The best part? You can preserve this goodness for months with easy canning instructions, so you’ll always have a jar on hand when you need it.

Tips and Tricks
Choosing Mangoes
Pick ripe mangoes for the best flavor. They should be slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too firm or too mushy.
Sterilizing Jars
Make sure to sterilize your jars properly before filling them. Boil the jars, lids, and bands in water for 10 minutes. This prevents any bacteria from spoiling your chutney.
Storing Chutney
Store your canned chutney in a cool, dark place. This will help maintain its flavor and prevent it from spoiling. Once opened, keep it in the refrigerator and use it within a month.
Serving Suggestions
Mango chutney pairs well with grilled meats, cheese platters, and sandwiches. It also makes a great dipping sauce for appetizers. Experiment with different foods to find your favorite combinations.
Adjusting Sweetness
If you prefer a less sweet chutney, you can reduce the amount of sugar. Start with 1.5 cups and taste as you go, adding more if needed to achieve your desired sweetness.
Using a Food Processor
To save time, use a food processor to chop the onion and dried fruits. This will speed up your prep work and ensure consistent sizes for even cooking.
