Have you made Chutney? What major ingredients help chutney retain its color and flavor better?

Question

Do you like apple or mango based best? Why? What is the base for most chutney recipes?

Please offer some canning advice if you have any as I am new to the art.

Answer 1

we can use only raw mangoes to keep a chutney.

Ingredients: (garlic, ginger, thilli oil) flavour, (red chilli powder, salt) Colour

Answer 2

I've made a number of chutneys, most often Mango.

When I make it I usually make what I will use in 1 or 2 meals.

Citrus will help preserve color (you can buy ascorbic acid powder if you don't want orange or lemon taste. ) Flavor comes from good ripe fruits, brown sugar and hot peppers.

If you want to can it, that's easy.   Buy mason jars STERILIZE them

use clean hands and don't handle the insides of the jars or lids.

fill the jars with chutney place lids on (not too tight) and submerge in a large pot of water. boil for @ 20 min test for a seal on the lids and you're done!!
