SUGAR FREE MANGO CHUTNEY RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Peel, stone and roughly chop the mangos; set aside.
  2. Remove the cardamom seeds from the pods. Peel and finely chop the garlic, then trim and finely chop the chilli.
  3. Add the vinegar and sugar to a large pan over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and reduce by a couple of centimetres.
  4. Gently toast the cumin, coriander and cardamom seeds until aromatic, then crush with the chilli powder using a pestle and mortar. Add to the vinegar pan, along with the chopped mango, nigella seeds and 2 teaspoons of sea salt.
  5. Finely grate in the ginger, add the garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it has a thick, syrupy consistency, adding the chopped chilli for the last 10 minutes.
  6. Divide among sterilised jars, seal and keep for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and chop the flesh into blueberry-sized pieces. Pour the vinegar and sugar into a large pan and simmer gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and bubble for 8-10 mins until reduced a little. Meanwhile, toast the cumin, coriander and cardamom in a dry pan until aromatic.
• Tip the spices into a pestle and mortar and gently crush them, leaving the seeds with some texture. Remove the cardamom pods, leaving the seeds in the spice mix, and add to the vinegar mix along with the mangoes, the other ingredients and 2 tsp salt. Bubble over a medium heat for 1 hr 15 mins – 1 hr 35 mins, until thick and syrupy. Leave to sit for 10 mins.
• Transfer the chutney into 2-3 sterilised jars while still hot. Seal the jars and leave to cool, then add labels. Store in a cool place for up to 2 years – the chutney will be best eaten after a few months, when the flavours have melded and mellowed.
