5 cm (2in) piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated
400ml (14fl oz) distilled malt vinegar
3g large garlic cloves
1 large onion, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the mangoes with a vegetable peeler. Cut all the flesh away from the stone, then chop into bite-sized chunks and put into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar, cover and leave to marinate overnight.
Step 2
Put the mixture into a large pan, then add the other ingredients. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 1½hr, stirring occasionally, until the mango is translucent and most of the excess liquid has evaporated.
Step 3
Remove the pan from the heat and leave the chutney to cool for 10min. Ladle it into sterilised jars, top with a waxed disc and seal while hot.
Step 4
Now, just assemble
Arrange the labelled jars of chutney in a small wicker basket lined with coloured tissue paper.
An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
