Notes
I didn't do a traditional canning process with this recipe but you certainly could. I wanted to keep it simple. If you are new to canning I suggest you check out freshpreserving.com. You can freeze the jars; just make sure you leave a good inch from the top so chutney can expand. It will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and in the freezer for months. We love using this chutney as a salsa, on lamb, fish and my favorite shrimp! It is nice to have a few extra jars on hand to dress up a boring meal! I used Florida mangoes which tend to be larger if you use the smaller variations that are flatter, oblong and yellow you may need to add a few. Also if your mangoes are ripe and you add the stevia your taste buds will be happy. Traditional recipes I looked at called for up to 2 cups of sugar! Using the coconut sugar does give it a sweeter flavor if you desire. Please use organic when you can.
