Bellyful Mango Chutney

Green mango, ginger and bonnet, cooked down sweet and sharp.

A Bellyful house chutney, made in St Kitts in the Nevisian way: green mango caught before it sweetens, simmered slow with cane sugar, ginger, garlic, a little scotch bonnet, and warm spice until it turns thick and dark. Mango comes off the Nevis trees by the bucket every July, far more than the island can eat fresh, and chutney is one of the old answers to a glut. A maker collaboration, put up in small batches.

Sweet first, then the sour of the green fruit, then a low heat that sits at the back.
