A recipe from the Good Food collection.

Ingredients

3 large green mangoes
½ tsp garam masala
1½ cups (330g) sugar
1 cup (250ml) white vinegar
2 small red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
½ cup (95g) finely chopped dates

Method

Step 1
Cut the cheeks from the rounded side of each mango and use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh. Cut the remaining flesh from around the sides of the seed and chop all the flesh into large slices. Sprinkle with salt.
Step 2
Place the garam masala and sugar in a bowl, and mix together well. Place in a large saucepan with the vinegar. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mango slices, chilli, ginger and dates, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the mango is tender. Stir often during cooking to prevent the chutney from sticking and burning on the bottom, especially towards the end of the cooking time.
Step 4
Spoon immediately into very clean, warm jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 minutes, then invert and leave to cool. Label and date. Store for up to six months.
