Mango Chutney

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Don't let all the ingredients fool you, this is so easy to make, just simmer all ingredients, cool and enjoy! This has a sweet and hot taste, it is an excellent recipe for chutney, and goes wonderful with chicken dishes. Plan ahead this needs to be refrigerated overnight before cooking. You can store it in the fridge for a couple of days or for longer storage you can process and can (see note on bottom). This is one of those recipes that you either love or hate, we happen to really like this at our house, I hope you do to!

The spicing is very nice, however, for me this was more an apple chutney than a mango chutney. Your recipes are very, very good and again, the spicing is lovely but I would not recommend this as a MANGO chutney.
