I have to admit, this last can jam came out of nowhere for me. My pregnancy has my brain in a constant fog, and I failed to notice that recipes need to be posted no later than the tenth. Hence, my repost of this fabulous recipe from a few years back honoring this month’s topic, dried fruit: my mango chutney recipe. It’s a bit sweet, a bit spicy, and the perfect condiment to just about any meal.
Or for eating straight out of the jar.
Not that I’ve done that.
The recipe after the jump.
