Preparation steps
- Cut each mango in half along the sides of the flat stone that runs through the center of the fruit, so you end up with two fleshy halves.
- Now take each mango half and cut the flesh into fairly large, diagonal pieces. Be careful not to cut through the shell.
- Flip each half over, then cut off the mango pieces that are sticking out of the peel.
- Cut off the pulp around the stones, cut off the peel and chop the pulp.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan, add the onion and fry for a few minutes until softened.
- Stir in the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in all spices except turmeric and cook until toasted.
- Stir in the turmeric, add the apple and add 500ml water, then cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the mango and chilli, cover and cook for another 20 minutes, until the apple is mushy and the mango is tender.
- Add the vinegar, stir in the sugar and salt and then simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour into sterilized jars.
