What is mango chutney?

Our spicy mango chutney with chilli, ginger and cinnamon is a both sweet and spicy condiment.

For a lighter serving, enjoy it as an accompaniment to a cheese platter or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and chicken fingers. The possibilities are endless with this tasty chunky treat.

How long does homemade mango chutney last?

Store the homemade mango chutney tightly sealed in the fridge; it will keep well for a month or two. Because of the vinegar’s high acidity, the chutney preserves its flavour and texture fairly well when stored properly. If you are unsure whether it is bad or spoiled, do a smell test, and observe any changes to its appearance. Discard the homemade chutney if it develops an off odour or takes on a different flavour or colour.

Can you freeze mango chutney?

Our spicy mango chutney freezes well for about 3-5 months. Because the ingredients have already been cooked, the taste and texture will not be affected once frozen. Spoon the chutney into airtight glass jars or small containers suited for the freezer. Carefully place the glasses or containers in the freezer to avoid squashing or damaging them. To thaw the chutney, let it defrost in the fridge overnight. If there is any excess water, simply give it a good stir to combine the ingredients again, and it will be ready to use.
