An October Chutney

Last month we made us a Tomato Pickle and now we make a Mango Chutney for our 10^th month of 2011 which is sweet and pleasantly hot and is an extremely versatile hot accompaniment to curries or any Indian meal.

Ingredients for Mango Chutney:

1 kg sweet mangoes, peeled and cut in pieces lengthwise
1 ¼ kg sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
3-4 bay leaves, crushed
8-10 black cardamoms, crushed
2 thumb-sized cinnamon sticks, broken to bits
1 tsp cloves, ground

Did you know?

September is the 9th month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and one of four months with a length of 30 days. In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"

September begins on the same day of the week as December every year

I know we are already in the middle of September but we can still make this pickle to have in the remaining 2 weeks of the month.

Oh I almost forgot; my cousin KJ was born in September so this is her month. xxx Love you KJ

Hope you read this post when you get old enough to understand it allJ.

This month we shall be having a Tomato Chutney/ pickle

So I thought since we have got just about 3months and some weeks till the end of the year, I could post 4 recipes for some common chutneys/pickles each for a month.

Pickles can be eaten with just about anything from rice, to pilau to muchomo and just about any bread.

When I was little I always liked to pound my grandfather, his chutney. It was so simple. I had to just chop about 10 hot green chilies and pound them together with about flat a handful of raw ground nuts. That was the simplest chutney I saw my grandma make and it was the first I ever learnt to make.

As I became older I tasted more and different kinds of pickles, my fave being mango pickles that had a stingy taste of ginger and lemon.
