Domestic Delight


In feeling the continued need to be domestically productive, My mom and I set aside the day to make some jellies, and in our ever-adventurous fashion, we tried a new recipe! Mango ketchup. Yep, that's right! Sounds interesting huh!?

So here's how ya do it...and trust me...it is BEYOND simple!

Microwave Mango Ketchup

2 mangoes thinly diced (the smaller the better)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground allspice and cloves

1. Combine diced mangoes, sugar, wine, vinegar, ginger, salt, allspice and cloves in a medium microwaveable dish.

2. Cook in microwave for 5 minutes. Stir.

3. Cook in microwave for 3-5 minutes more or until it thickens up. Spoon into canning jars and process in boiling water for 10 minutes.

We enjoyed our mango ketchup on brats tonight for dinner and it was an amazing blend of sweet and spicy goodness! I think however, I will really enjoy it on grilled tilapia soon!!
