Esme,
I love hot and spicy mango pickle and this recipe sounds so easy. No vinegar or any preservative ?

I will post your comment and ask Preshana to respond and let you know asap.
See Preshana’s comment on your question.
Salt is one of the preservatives, as the mangoes are soaked overnight in it.The other preservative is oil.Once the oil and masala mixture are cooled down its poured over mangoes.As mentioned in the recipe when the pickle is placed in a jar make sure the mangoes are covered in oil, as this prevents the mangoes turning sour and mould forming
Thank you, Esme and Preshana. Needless to say, I love mango pickles and am going to try this one.
