Hey ya’ll! So I hope you had a great 4th! I took the rest of last week off because, let’s be honest, my life is chaotic. Pause button is needed. So is an update on life, studio remodel, workshops, all thing Cotter Crunch LLC. Please keep me accountable with a “behind the lense” post. Mmm k?
Now, speaking of updates, here’s a good one! This Jalapeno Mango Chutney was originally created alongside this Coconut Chicken recipe post, but I wanted to update the recipe, and pull it away from that recipe post to give it a focus of its own. Yes, chutney deserves its own focus and descriptive post. It’s one of the most underrated condiments on the planet I tell ya! Plus, it’s one of my most FAVORITE ways to use up all that summer produce. RESOURCEFULNESS!
Let’s begin!
Chutney is simple to make and a great staple item to have in your fridge!

Description
How to Make Chutney PLUS easy Jalapeño Mango Chutney Recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango peeled and sliced (see notes)
- 1 medium size shallot (peeled and sliced) or ½ cup diced red onion
- ⅓ – ½ cup coconut sugar or raw sugar (adjust to desired sweetness)
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeño (chopped) – remove seeds if you prefer less spicy.
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- Pinch of cayenne
- optional 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger or ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger
- Cilantro to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the produce – peel and slice mango, shallot; and slice the jalapeño, removing seeds if you desire less spice. Place in a small pot.
- Place remaining ingredients (minus cilantro) in the pot. Cook on medium to medium high heat (stirring occasionally) until mango and jalapeños soften. The mangos will start to brown around 15-20 minutes. The sugar will be dissolved and liquid should be reduced some what.
- Remove from stove and place all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- Pulse a few times until ingredients are mixed, but still thick.
- If serving right away, spoon into a bowl and garnish with cilantro (if desired).
- If you’d like to save the chutney for later, spoon into a glass container, and cover with lid. A small mason jar works great!
- Store chutney in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 – 12 days. Makes about 1 cup depending on the size of mango used.
- Ways to use chutney – on grilled fish or chicken. Great with burgers! Or even as a dip mixed with yogurt.
- Add extra salt and pepper, if desired.
Notes
Tips for Peeling Mango – Peel the mango from top to bottom. Using the Y-shaped peeler, work your way around the mango. Slice in half, cutting around the pit. Holding the fruit vertically, trim the remaining flesh off the pit. Slice the cut halves into smaller wedges or cubes. Another quick trick to slicing mango can be seen in this recipe video.

Sooooo simple to make and SO tasty! Going to be making double and triple batches from now on because it’s going to disappear so fast! 😀 Thanks for an amazing recipe!

Woohoo! So glad! It’s great on tacos too. Let me know how else you use it Mikaila
I made this for “my man” who is a big fan of jalapeño anything! He loved it! Puts it on everything or nothing! I followed the recipe exactly the first time. Great! The second and third time I kept half of the jalapeño seeds, as he likes it spicy!
★★★★★
Woohoo! Love that it’s man approved! Thanks for recipe tips Nancy
I must have done something wrong. All I can taste is the vinegar .
Oh no! How long did you cook it? Did you add the honey and mango? HOw much vinegar did you use?
Hi! Is this a good recipe for canning? I am looking for a mango jalapeno chutney recipe to can for Christmas gifts.
Thank you so much!
Becca Schmidt
absolutely! It’s great for a gift too. 🙂
Hi, nice recipe but you couldn’t be more wrong. Berries and soft fruits make the best chutneys. They are actually most widely used in India. No one wastes good mangoes on chutneys here.
Good to know. I have never tried with berries! Haha we always use a stone fruit. Berries are sacred here. 😉
Has anyone made this in a crockpot?
Not yet, but I bet you could!
Ooh, I LOVE chutney. It’s one of my favorite Indian condiments! Most of the time, I’ve had tomato or some kind of sweet pepper chutney except for this one mango chutney from Trader Joe’s. It’s delicious but nothing would beat a homemade recipe. Have to try this sometime–and add an extra jalapeno!
I love the TJ’s chutney, but you gotta try the homemade one with jalapeno. LIFE changing. ahah I may be bias 😉
interesting about chutneys, I like the sweet-sourness of them versus a jam, so thank you for this mango version

Glad you enjoyed the fun facts too Sabrina. Haha.
The tips for peeling the mango were perfect! This tasted great!
★★★★★
This was so good! I loved it with my toast and scones!
★★★★★
I love hearing that! Mmm yes, this would be so good on scones ?
This sounds like something that would pair well with fish tacos or tortilla chips. Love the spicy/sweet combo!
Yes and yes!! So delicious on fish tacos ?
I think this would taste amazing on burgers!
★★★★★
Oooo I’m so there. When’s dinner? ?
I usually make fruit salsas when I want something to jazz up our fish, but I tried your mango chutney instead. Boy was this tasty!! Thanks for the great recipe!!
★★★★★
I am ready to smear this on everything!
★★★★★
Do it friend!
I LOOOOOVE chutney – wowza. Great recipe (as always), with the mix of sweet mango and spicy jalapeño; and I hope you’re feeling recharged and well-rested – you deserve to feel your best! Sending hugs.

Oh liz, then you will love my recipe with this on thursday! Stay tuned. 😉
Would this work with tinned jalapenos

You can try! It might be a little different, texture wise, but still good!
