Chutney

For many years now, I have been cooking and packaging special Christmas hampers for our family in Queensland. These hampers are our Christmas gift to them, something from our kitchen to theirs on Christmas day. The hampers are generally made up of various sauces, pickles, jams etc that have been prepared during the year, and then there’s a cooking frenzy just before they are sent off, where Christmas cakes and puddings are made, batches of biscuits are baked, and if there’s time a big batch of crunchy granola.

I’ve been making this chutney for many, many years, and it’s always really popular with family and friends.

A month or two ago I was preparing for a class, Preserving the Produce of Spring, and was lucky enough to pick up a tray of beautiful mangoes for a really good price. This provided me the perfect opportunity to introduce those attending the class, to this delicious chutney recipe. Fortunately there were plenty of mangos and I was also able to cook up a batch or two to stock our larder for the next twelve months. This chutney is a key ingredient for a quick easy meal that I find myself making on a regular basis, so am really happy to have a good supply on hand again.

You will be surprised at how easy this chutney is to make!
