The mangos are appearing on the trees here now, but are still green. For those windfalls, and trees that seem overloaded I've given this a try. It takes ten mangos to make eight jars, so it really is for mango growing areas. Green mangos are very (very) bitter, hence the seemingly large amount of sugar.
Ingredients
10 green Mangoes cut into slices ( about six cups)
1 cup vinegar
3 and 1/4 cups sugar
1 and 1/2 cups raisins
1/4 cup chopped ginger root
2 chillies, chopped and deseeded.
1 finely chopped clove garlic
1/3 cup sliced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
1. Dissolve sugar in warmed vinegar and boil for five minutes.
2. Add everything else and boil to reach desired consistency. taste and sweeten if needed.
3. Ladle into hot jars .
By using white vinegar and sugar you get a pale green/yellow chutney, but by using malt vinegar and/or brown sugar you get a much darker colour and all together different flavour.
book I ever bought. It details basic techniques and equipment and how to use them, and moves on to some of the more complicated techniques. What I like the best though is that whatever part of the world I was living in at the time this book had a recipe for me. If you are more interested in freezing and canning then 
may be a better choice.
