Mango Chutney

Unopened jars are shelf-stable for 1–2 years in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 3–4 weeks. Chutneys with higher sugar content last longer. Check for mold or off odors before use.

Serve at room temperature or slightly warm to bring out its spiced flavor.

A little goes a long way—start with 1–2 tablespoons and adjust to taste.

Pair with rich, savory dishes like curry or roasted vegetables to balance acidity and sweetness.

Homemade versions tend to be thicker and less sweet than commercial brands; thin with a splash of water if needed.
