Mango Tamarind Chutney
1/2 cup tamarind paste
3 cups water
3 pounds mangoes
2 teaspoons asofoetida
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup dried currants
5 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 lemon, grated zest
2 cups light brown sugar packed
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoon dried red pepper crushed
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more to taste
1 1/2 cup lemon juice
Mangoes can be unripe, half-ripe or part unripe and part ripe. Using part or all almost-ripe fruit will yield a chutney with a softer texture. If you like jammy chutney, cut the fruit into small bits. For a chunky product, use 1/2 inch or larger cubes and stop cooking the mixture as soon as the fruit pieces are translucent.
Mix the tamarind paste with 1/8 cup of the water and set aside. Peel and dice the mangoes, cutting them into small pieces for a jam like chutney, into 1/2 inch or larger dice for a chunky mixture. Place the pieces in a preserving pan. Mix together the tamarind, raisins, currants, ginger, lemon zest, brown and granulated sugars, mustard seed, asofoetida, salt, crushed hot red pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, cloves, ground red pepper, lemon juice and 1 cup water, and mix with the mango.
Set the pan over medium heat and bring the ingredients to a boil. Lower the heat so the mixture simmers and cook it, uncovered, stirring often, until the mango is translucent and the chutney has thickened to the consistency of preserves (1 to 2 hours, depending on the firmness of the fruit). The chutney will thicken further in the jar, so don't reduce it too much. If the chutney threatens to stick before the mango pieces are translucent, add a little water. Reheat the chutney to boiling and ladle it into hot, clean pint or half-pint canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars process for 15 minutes (for either size jar) in a boiling-water bath. Cool, label, and store the jars for a least a month so that its many flavors can blend and balance. This will keep for at least a year in a cool pantry.
