    Whether you grow your own fruit or purchase it at the local farmers market, now is the time to preserve that delicious flavor so you can enjoy it all year long. Following are a few recipes you and your family are sure to enjoy.

    GOLDEN MANGO AND LEMON CHUTNEY

    This is a pretty, glowing, golden chutney. It’s good with seafood because it’s bright and tart, and it has a nice lemony kick. Don’t substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar if you want to keep the golden hue of the fruit in the finished chutney. Choose yellow mangoes that are on the firmer side.

    Yields 10 half-pint jars.
