missed out on testing this for CP - already taken- but I will make this soon as it sounds delicious. Funny, we just communicated this morning about jam!

I have just put mangoes on my shopping list so that I can make it over the weekend! Regular mangoes or champagne/ataulfa?

Great! I ended up buying some of each as I needed atualfa for the recipe I tested for CP. So, now I have some and will make this soon!

Liz, I love this chutney. You forced me to make your recipe because I ran out of the jars you gave me. It is a fool proof recipe...perfect every time. It is delicious with roast pork or chicken or in egg salad and straight out of the jar.(to name a few)

I will be making a mango peach version of this again as soon as Texas peaches are ready - this year I will need 24 half pints - 12 was NOT ENOUGH!!!

I had this amazingly delicious chutney last night with some pork chops. Both Myles and I just absolutely love, love, love it!!! We both just started eating it out of the jar after dinner....:-) GREAT recipe Liz!!

Thanks, Susan, it is so easy to make this recipe. The trick is to buy really good mangoes and let them get very ripe. I buy them in summer at Costco! So happy you both enjoyed your jar!

I now love using my mother's glass lemon reamer, the little cut glass pitcher that held cream skimmed from the milk of their cows, and I love mango chutney. So generous of you to share both it and its story.

Hi Liz! I made another batch last night - my version using both mango and peach - and it is wonderful. Your mother certainly has improved my world with her chutney recipe! Thanks again for sharing it!

Amazingly, I recently met my former baby-sitter, the daughter-in-law of the woman who gave this recipe to my Mom. We flew back to eastern PA this June. I was so overwhelmed I forgot to take a photo. Mary Alice was in tears when I gave her the original mango chutney recipe to share with her sister-in-law. We had not met in over 50 years,by the way. An amazing reunion.

Thanks, sounds terrific. A question about finishing... Do you cook the jarred chutney in a water bath? If so, for how long? Thanks.

I have never used a water bath, not did my mother - but, by all means, just to be safe, 15 minutes in a water bath if you feel safer...

NOTE: Made a recent batch of this and was out of golden raisins. Updated photo reflects this - sorry.

Liz I made a version of this - mango and peach, with a few twists - and it is wonderful! I had your Mama's photo up on the computer while I was cooking it and she helped me get it right I think - so thanks to both of your for the recipe and the memories!!!

In tears, just found your comment - my Mama would so dig food52 and lovely people such as you - made my week - and this was the week I finally won the last spot in the book. Your note means as much to me as a place in the cookbook - family is all about why we cook. best X0, liz

Me three. What a wonderful heart-warming story. And I love mangos and love to make chutney and will definitely make this recipe! Need to go get a kleenex now.
