Who's Afraid Of Major Grey? Recipe
Who the heck is Major Grey and why is his name all over my mango chutney?
I hate to burst your bubble but Major Grey probably ranks up there with Santy Claus and the Easter
Bunny for real characters. Sorry Virgina, there is no Major Grey it's a made up name that's been around for years and is sort of synonymous with mango chutney.
Anyone can call themselves Major Grey and stick it on a chutney jar, there's no copyright , it's just that easy. Almost as easy as making your own Mango Chutney.
So , let's do it.
First, get yourself
Ingredients
- 6 or 7 mid size mangos
- 2 Tbs of salt
- 2 1/2 cups of Indian Palm Sugar (it's called jaggery) or light brown sugar will do
- three Tbs of any vegetable oil
- 1 Tbs of brown mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons of crushed cumin seeds
- 2 cloves
- One 3 inch stick of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of turmeric
Directions
- First, get yourself
- 6 or 7 mid size mangos..the ones without cup holders or leather upholstery. They don't have to be ripe, firm ones work just as well. Peel and cube them, and put them in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle them with 2 Tbs of salt, and 2 1/2 cups of Indian Palm Sugar (it's called jaggery) or light brown sugar will do. Once that's done set it aside for at least 1/2 hour.
- In a very heavy pot heat up about three Tbs of any vegetable oil. I prefer peanut oil. When it's hot toss in
- 1 Tbs of brown mustard seeds. Once they start to pop, lower your heat and add
- 2 teaspoons of crushed cumin seeds.
- 2 cloves
- One 3 inch stick of cinnaomon and stir it up.
- Pour in the mango salt and sugar mix. It'll be fairly liquid since the salt and sugar will have pulled a lot of juice from the mangos.
- Bring your chutney to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer.
- Toss in 1/2 teasp of turmeric.
- stir and simmer it like that uncovered for 1 and 1/2 hours. Always eyeball it as depending on your mangos it could take less or more time. DON'T let it stick or burn.
- Once it's nice and thick add in 1/2 teasp. of cayenne pepper.
- Taste test to see how hot you want to make it. And you're done. This will keep covered in the fridge for several days.
- If you want to bottle this chutney sterilize , some jars and lids and follow normal canning procedure as you would with any jam. I'm calling mine Empress Kathy's Mango Chutney .
