Mango Chutney

The previous recipe calls for "store bought" mango chutney. I do not like buying anything store bought if I don't have to! It's always so much more rewarding to make it yourself and then brag about it but act humble at the same time.

Guest: "This is so good!  You made this yourself? How impressive!"

You: "Oh really, you like it? I'm so glad! I didn't know how it would turn out."

Inner Monologue: "Of course it's good. I'm amazing. I need to open my own restaurant."

I'm KIDDING, of course! Usually, I'm so insecure when I cook that when people tell me they like it, I really think they hate it and are just being nice.

I made this for my memorial day barbecue and it really is delicious.
