Hi there all,

anyone got a good recipe for making mango chutney, i would like to make some, also i want to make some Branston type pickle.

Any ideas please.

Thanks for your replies in advance.

Branston is a tough one. Try the video below.... Ditch the plums and apples and use finely diced root vegetables instead. Reduce the sugar and spices somewhat then add HP sauce to get the tart taste.

You can always adapt a couple of things to suit.

I wonder how sea cucumbers go instead of cornichons

Speaking of chutney, I would kill for the West Indian style mango chutney.

Looks simple enough http://www.scribd.com/doc/48710923/Mango-Chutney-Recipe-West-Indian-Style

This one looks almost to be a confiture, but looks interesting enough. We are surrounded by Mango trees so this could well be a good idea this weekend......

Ah, thanks for that!

i made a mango chutney 6weeks ago,it was the first try apart from being a little bit dry[used sweet mago's]it came out pretty good

2cups sugar

1cup white vinegar

6cups mango

1 med.onion

1/2cup golden raisons

1/4cup ginger

1clove garlic

1tsp.must.seeds.

1/4 red chilli flakes.

for a touch of indian add 1tsp of cardoman powder.

boil 1+2 till 1disolves

add the rest of ingredents,simmer uncovered about 45mins or untill it becomes thick and syrupy

pour into hot jars and stand in cold water till cool.dont forget to leave 1/2in.head space in the jars.

Interesting take on that one. The other recipe had red wine vinegar. No cardoman mentioned. When garlic cloves are mentioned, we are talking about an entire garlic clove, not the pieces of garlic? Sorry, need a real explanation there.

A garlic clove is an individual piece of garlic. The whole thing is referred to as a "head" of garlic - not a clove.

Thanks. I will make it this weekend and post pics.

Meatboy, got pics?

Waiting 24 hours for the raisins and dates to marinade with the red vinegar. Will post pics on Tuesday. Along with the recipe. Was able to finally buy fresh jalapeños at Villa last weekend.

Totally off topic but I love the word "chutney". It always makes me chuckle for some reason.

managed to get a jar of branston pickle last sat.520grm.330bht.bit on the expensive side but oooooooooooo with cheese.

I always thought "Mango Chutney" would be a great name for a 60's acid rock band. "Yo, duude, Creams playing at Enormo Dome next month, Mango Chutney's opening for 'em."

My nan used to make picalilli and pan yan (pretty much Branston which I don't like). I've done picallilli a few times, will ask mam next time I speak to her to see if she has it written down or remembers - quite possible; she couldn't tell you what happened Corrie week, but she knows the Provy number, the Store number and all the extended families' ration book numbers
