How to Make The Best Ever Mango Chutney!
One of the all-time favourite fruits is the scrumptious mango! When it’s mango season, people line up to fill their baskets with these wonderful fruits. Nothing beats the taste, texture and total experience, of eating a mango – it’s almost a spiritual moment when you cut it open and sit down to enjoy the riches of this golden wonder.
This is one of my favourite recipes, from our guest home cook Kellie. It’s based on the divine mango, with a recipe on how to make the best ever Mango Chutney! It’s a very flexible recipe – the spices used are completely interchangeable. Anything you don’t like can be omitted, and anything you love can be doubled.
The only thing Kellie recommends keeping are the mustard seeds – there’s something about their popping goodness that makes this chutney oh so good. This is also a great one for last minute Christmas gifts, or as a perfect chutney to have on the Christmas table for your meats and cheeses.
thanks for sharing this recipe with us Kellie! Nom Nom!

How to Make The Best Ever Mango Chutney!
This is the perfect accompaniment to curry or samosas, even with a cheeseboard, but I especially love it with cold meat, and this time of year nothing beats Christmas ham!
Begin by sterilizing your jars, and you’ll need enough jars for approximately 1 litre of chutney.
I boil my jars for 20 minutes but you can place them in a 150°c oven for 20 minutes instead, so long as they don’t have rubber seals.
Ingredients
3 just ripe mangoes, diced in rough cubes
2 brown onions, diced
1 cup brown or apple cider vinegar
2 cups white sugar
1tbs grated ginger (jar is fine)
2 cloves crushed garlic
2tsp ground cumin
1tsp ground coriander
1tbs mustard seeds
1tsp mustard powder
1tsp tumeric
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1/2 mixed spice
Method to make your Mango Chutney
- Place everything together in a heavy based pot, stir, place over high heat and bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer stirring occasionally for about an hour, maybe a little longer, but you’re looking for a nice thick consistency while still having pieces of mango.
- Fill your jars while still very hot, immediately seal and invert till cooled.
- Store in a cool dark place till use, and refrigerate once opened.
- Enjoy!
I’m going to try that Helen! U0001f499

Emma Findlay just in case you need a new recipe 🙂

I can’t get the page to load U0001f62c. We guts picked 2 wash tubs of mangos and some are to cook with……. if our 5 kids don’t eat them all first hehe.
Oh Kim peel them n freeze them in bags, they keep forever frozen, great in milk shakes etc even eat frozen, great on a hot day U0001f44dU0001f603
Oh yes I do that too Kaye. The kids just go to the freezer and get a bag out and eat it, milkshakes are always on the go and homemade icecream is in the freezer. I got some common mangos this time and was going to make chutney. Mum has a good recipe but thought I’d check this 1 out. Merry Christmas to you all too U0001f499

I know right mmmm
Neville Bereyne lmao
Emma perhaps you could whip up some of this?
So lucky to get 3 boxes of good sized mangoes on special at local fruit barn for $26 (48 mangoes) most the cheaper box at $6 which were ready to eat, but not over ripe, made jam, just canned up 16 in preserving jars which leaves me 23 for chutney, dehydrating, freezing and hopefully some of them will still be just right to eat next week when my visitors from UK arrive ..so lucky to live in sunny Queensland 🙂
oh how lucky!!!! Enjoy those golden treasures
I just made a batch of this mango chutney, so delicious! I added a whole tsp. Of pepper flakes, very spicy. Planning to make another batch & give as gifts, but with less pepper flakes, thank you for the recipe, & its so easy too!
oh that is Fab!! Great addition 🙂
No need to water bath these??
not as far as I know, the guest DIY’er did not suggest that 🙂
Recipe sounds great but what is the “mixed spice”??
you can buy it – a blend of things like allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg
Can I use allspice if I couldn’t find mixed spice in our local stores?
I think that would work! Similar as far as I know
What do you mean by sealing? Should I put these in a water bath canner and boil for 10 or 15 minutes. Or do you tighten the lids and simply invert. Does that lead to a proper for purpose of longer term storage?
Hi Margaret – I am sorry but I am not sure as it was a guest blog post. I will check with Kellie!
Ive made this with peaches twice and it’s truly the best chutney recipe I’ve ever come across! This morning I’m making it with cranberries and pears, something seasonal. I’ve also gifted jars of it to friends and they adore it.
wonderful! Love the seasonal change!
Have made your recipe a few times now and it’s a firm favourite with the whole family. We loved it! Thank you 🙂
Should have said that I live in the north of Scotland! Isn’t Pinterest wonderful! Mangoes aren’t so plentiful here but they’re in the supermarkets at the moment! 👍🏻
we are so lucky with mangoes here!
Hi have made your Mango Chutney a few times now and it’s a firm favourite with the family. We love it! Thank you so much. 🙂 I should say we’re from Scotland so don’t have any mangoes growing in the garden! We have them in the supermarkets at the moment so I’m taking advantage! 👍🏻
that is wonderful!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas
Just made a big pan with those gorgeous ingredients. Filling up beautiful jars with the delicious chutney as my🎄Christmas 🎁 in for my dear friends! EXCITING 😊
wonderful!! Have a lovely Christmas
