A little while ago my husband Howard started to enjoy cheese and mango chutney sandwiches. Howard enjoyed this lunch time dish so much he brought a large jar of chutney from a certain wholesalers. It started me thinking that I have never made a mango chutney before. I have made other types of chutney like, onion and pumpkin but never mango. I used to love mango chutney and cheese sandwich too. Plus I do enjoy it with a curry as well.
Although I can’t eat a cheese and mango chutney sandwich, due to a gluten intolerance, I do still enjoy mango chutney with other dishes like curries. I decided to cook the chutney in the slow cooker. I gain so much extra time when I cook in the slow cooker. For me, it feels like the fairies have come and cooked food for us to eat. All I did was simply put all the ingredients into the pot and let it cook slowly. The results were delicious and it’s a recipe I just had to share with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Slow Cooker Mango Chutney was delicious we ate this condiment with spicy potato cakes. It made a yummy alternative to ketchup. My husband Howard and myself really enjoyed that meal. Howard did say that the chutney reminded him of a fruity sauce. We look forward to hearing what you think. The spicy sweet potato cakes recipe will be up after this one. The best part about this chutney is it will keep for months in a cool, dark place or in the fridge once it’s been opened. It could also be given as a gift or served at a BBQ in the summer months too. However you decide to eat this condiment, as always, please enjoy. Thank you
