Ingredients

2 kg firm mangoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 2 cm cubes
500–700 ml white vinegar (5% acetic acid) — enough to cover jars
120 g salt
200 g granulated sugar (optional; balances acidity)
3 bay leaves
2 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tbsp mustard seeds
4–6 cloves garlic, sliced (optional)
2–3 dried red chilies or 2 tbsp chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Sterilize jars and lids thoroughly.
2
Combine vinegar, salt, sugar, bay leaves, peppercorns, mustard seeds, chilies and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors; cool slightly.
3
Pack mango cubes into jars. Pour hot (not boiling) brine over mangoes until fully submerged, leaving 1 cm headspace.
4
Seal while hot (hot-fill method) or allow to cool then refrigerate. For shelf-stable: use hot-fill and ensure seals form (or pasteurize jars by simmering for 10 minutes).
5
Let rest 48 hours before tasting; flavor sharpens over 2–7 days. Refrigerate after opening or keep sealed and pasteurized for months.
