Socks and Underwear

To make MANGO/GINGER CHUTNEY:

Start with hard mangoes, preferably green ones, and a ton of ginger.



Grate the mango into a bowl and slice the ginger into thin strips.





Add the ginger to the mango.



Add garlic, white vinegar or cider vinegar, and sugar.




Cook the sweet and sour slurry at various temperatures until it reduces and solidifies a little bit. At this point, the kitchen smells really good.



Pack it into jars. Give it away or use it on anything from English Muffins to an accompaniment for grilled lamb.



The problem is when you remember that the people you were making the chutney for can't take the chutney back with them on the plane, unless they pack it in their luggage, and oi, if a jar should open inside the suitcase?

Guess it's socks and underwear for the Back Easters.

You should have put it in 3 oz jars.

And bottle the house smell too.
