Mango Chutney FAQ
Mango chutney, a vibrant condiment native to Indian cuisine, can initially be a bit perplexing to people who are new to cooking with it. One of the main areas where people go wrong is in their use of the chutney. Many are unsure whether it's a cooking ingredient, a condiment, or a side dish. The truth is, it's all three; you can cook with it, serve it on the side, or use it as a flavor-packed topping. Remember, when adding mango chutney to a dish during cooking, add it in the later stages to maintain its integrity and distinctiveness. Another widespread issue is in the choice of recipes - many people underutilize its versatility. While it's largely associated with curries and Indian cuisine, it can also work beautifully with other meat types, sandwiches, as a marinade, or in salads. A lesser-known tip with mango chutney is that the combination of sweetness and acidity can work excellently in desserts as well.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does mango chutney expire?
An unopened store-bought jar of mango chutney can keep for upto 2 years in your pantry, when stored with proper conditions. However, make sure to keep a check on the 'use by' date on the label. Once the jar is opened, it's best to store it in the fridge and use it within a month for the best flavour. On the other hand, homemade mango chutney is a different story, it doesn't have the same preservatives that the store-bought versions have. After canning, it can be stored unopened in the pantry for up to a year. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and consumed within two weeks to a month. Lastly, if you decide to freeze your mango chutney (which isn't a common practice), it keeps well for upto 6 months, though there might be a slight change in texture once thawed.
How do you tell if mango chutney is bad?
To understand if your mango chutney has gone bad, first, look for visible signs of mold or strange colours that differ from its usual golden-yellow to orange hue. Second, give the chutney a good whiff. A foul or unusually strong smell is a definite indication it's time to let go of your chutney. Lastly, if you notice any changes in texture or flavour when you taste it, it's safe to say the chutney is past its prime.
Tips for storing mango chutney to extend shelf life
• Always store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight before opening. • After opening the jar, ensure you refrigerate your chutney promptly, and try to use a clean, dry spoon whenever you take some out to minimize contamination. • For homemade chutneys, make sure the jars are sterilized before use to ensure a longer shelf life. • Freezing is an option if you want to keep your chutney longer, but remember to leave some headspace in your container since the chutney will expand as it freezes.
