Mango season is upon us, well at least at our house. Our tree is bursting with our favorite seasonal fruit so the race is on to figure out how many things to make before they go bad! This was something I was inspired to make from a magazine clipping of a salad with mango chutney. It didn’t come with the recipe ironically but that’s ok…when it doubt figure it out! After some research on what goes into chutneys in general Yes it takes about an hour to make but I promise you it is well worth it! Pour some of this mango chutney on your salad, meat, dip some naan into it…you can be a total glutton like me and eat it straight like me! LOL!
