Here is my favorite all-purpose chutney recipe.

5 Hot chiles-I use Thai Dragons
2 Cups apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon salt
3 Cups brown sugar
1/4 Cup tamarind paste
4-6 Cups Peeled diced mangoes or pears (green are the best)
2 Small onions, finely chopped
6 Ounces golden raisins
1/2 Teaspoon celery seed
3 Minced garlic cloves
3 Tablespoon grated ginger
4 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 Tablespoon ground clove
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon mustard powder

In a large pot (not aluminum) combine peppers vinegar, salt and sugar. Cook 
over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add remaining ingredients and 
bring to a boil. Simmer until jelly like (many hours). Cool and jar. Keep 
refrigerated.
Enjoy
