Mango & Kiwi Fruit Chutney

This chutney is a little different to most chutneys, in that it retains a beautiful colour and is not loaded with spices etc.

Notes
  • I like to make this chutney when I can purchase trays of mangoes, in season, when they are inexpensive.
  • When choosing your salt, choose a good quality salt such as sea salt, rock salt or kosher salt. Always check to ensure that there are no additives such as thickeners and iodine.
  • Try not to overcook the chutney, it should retain the beautiful colours of the mango, kiwi fruit and have the little red specs of chilli showing through.
  • Serving Suggestions:
    • Great served with a good strong cheddar, chicken, ham or pork.
    • Mix with mayonnaise to make a delicious dressing for salad or sauce for praawns.
    • A key ingredient for my 'Chicken and Mango Chutney Curry'.
  • Adapted from a recipe in Jams, Pickles and Chutneys, The Family Circle
