Equipment
- Preserving pan (Large pot with lid - minimum 4.8 litre).
- Chopping board.
- Cooks knife (or any knife for chopping).
- Kitchen scales.
- Cup measurers.
- Liquid measuring jug.
- A wooden (or plastic) stirring spoon.
Ingredients
- 500g ripe Turpentine mangoes, cut into 1cm cubes.
- 1.5Kg ripe eating mangoes, cut into 1cm cubes.
- 500g just ripe eating mangoes, cut into 1cm cubes.
- 350ml white vinegar
- 350ml malt vinegar
- 250g raisins, coarsely chopped.
- 125g pitted dates, coarsely chopped.
- 65g ginger, grated.
- ¼ cup bird's eye chili with seeds in, chopped
- 6 long red chilies, sliced lengthwise with seeds removed.
- 250g Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored, cut into 1cm cubes.
- 250g brown onion, chopped coarsely.
- 375g white sugar
- 375g brown sugar
- Salt to taste
Method
- 1. Add all the ingredients except the mangoes into a large preserving pan. Put the lid on as we want to keep the steam in the boiler and bring to a boil. Then, reduce to a simmer for approximately 20-30 minutes to soften the apples, stirring occasionally to dissolve all the sugar.
- 2. Add 2kg of ripe chopped mangoes and simmer on low heat with the lid off. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent catching on the button until thickened. This should take about 1 hour, perhaps longer, depending on your stove.
- 3. Add salt to taste. Add the last ½ kg of just ripe Bowen or KP mangoes and the sliced long red chilies. Cook for a further 30 minutes on low heat, stirring regularly.
- 4. Ensure the last mangoes added are fully cooked before bottling. Bottle immediately while hot. Ensure some long chilies and yellow mango cubes show on the outside of the jar for decoration.
