Variations On Jamaican Style Mango Chutney Recipe

Here are a few variations on the Jamaican-style mango chutney recipe, depending on your preferences and available ingredients:

1. Tropical Pineapple-Mango Chutney

For an extra burst of tropical flavor:

• Replace 1 mango with 1 cup diced pineapple.
• Add ¼ cup fresh orange juice for a citrusy kick.
• Increase cinnamon slightly to complement the pineapple.

2. Sweet & Mild Mango Chutney (Less Spicy)

If you prefer a milder version:

• Use ½ a Scotch bonnet or substitute with a mild chili like jalapeño.
• Increase brown sugar to ¾ cup for extra sweetness.
• Omit or reduce ginger if you prefer a smoother taste.

3. Spicy Tamarind Mango Chutney

For a tangier and spicier chutney:

• Add 2 tablespoons tamarind paste for a rich, tart flavor.
• Increase Scotch bonnet pepper to 2, if you love heat!
• Reduce sugar to ⅓ cup to balance the tamarind.

4. Mango-Papaya Chutney

A softer, fruitier variation:

• Replace ½ of the mangoes with ripe papaya for a smoother texture.
• Add ¼ teaspoon ground cloves for extra warmth.
• Omit raisins for a silkier consistency.

5. Indian-Jamaican Fusion Mango Chutney

For a deeper, more complex spice profile:

• Add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds and ½ teaspoon mustard seeds (toast them before adding).
• Include 1 teaspoon garam masala for Indian spice influence.
• Use white sugar instead of brown sugar for a lighter taste
