Sweet Mango Chutney

Ingredients:

• a hundred green mangoes
• peeled and sliced
• two seers of tamarinds stoned
• the syrup of six pounds of sugar boiled in three quarts of vinegar
• one tablespoonful of finely-pounded cinnamon
• two pounds of salt
• two pounds of sliced ginger
• two pounds of cleaned and picked raisins
• three quarts of vinegar
• and one dessertspoonful of grated nutmeg.

Directions:

Peel the mangoes, cut them into fine slices, and steep them in salt for thirty-six hours; drain away the salt water, and boil them in the three quarts of vinegar; when cool, remove them into a preserving-pan, mix in all the condiments and other ingredients, and allow the whole to simmer for half an hour, pouring in the syrup gradually, and mixing all the time, until the vinegar and syrup have been absorbed, and the chutney has acquired the desired consistency; bottle and cork when perfectly cold.
