| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Place the tamarind in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Stirring and mashing occasionally with a spoon, let the tamarind soak for 1 hour, or until the pulp softens and breaks up in the water.
|
2. Rub the tamarind and pour its soaking liquid through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing down hard with the back of a spoon before discarding the seeds and fibers.
|
3. With a small, sharp knife, peel each mango and cut the flesh away from the large, flat stone. Discard the seeds and cut the mangoes into 1-inch dice.
|
4. Combine the mangoes and vinegar in a heavy 4- to 5-quart enameled or stainless-steel pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, and cook briskly for 10 minutes.
|
5. Stir in the sugar, raisins, ginger, garlic, chilies, allspice and salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the mango flesh is tender.
|
6. Remove the pot from the heat. With a large spoon, ladle the chutney immediately into hot sterilized canning jars, filling them to within l/S inch of the top. Seal each jar quickly and tightly with sterilized rings and lids.
