Sweet Mango Chutney - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 - 2 lbs chopped mangoes (1.5 lbs is an estimate you need 3-4 mangos)
    2 cups sugar
    3/4 cup distilled white vinegar (rice vinegar works too)
    1/4 cup juice (mango optimal, orange and apple work well too)
    1 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    1 tablespoon minced garlic (you know, the kind in the bottle that's part liquid?)
    1/2 teaspoon vinegar (any kind)
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon ginger (ground in bottle or grated from fresh gingerroot)
    2 teaspoons red chili powder
    1 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon turmeric
    1/2 teaspoon curry powder
    4 teaspoons mustard (seeds or ground)
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 cup golden raisin
Preparation
    Dice the mango into about 1-2\" cubes.
    Make a paste of the chopped garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp vinegar, and ginger. Put it aside for now.
    Place the sugar and cups of vinegars (plus the water and juice) in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Add the ginger-garlic paste to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Add the mango, chili powder, nutmeg, turmeric, curry powder, cinnamon, salt, and gold raisins.
    Cook uncovered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the chutney thicken.
    Serve in ramekins with your Indian feast, or seal in airtight glass jars for future use.
