Summer is for grilling, especially hot dogs and sausages. Highlight summer fruits and flavors with a sweet mango pineapple chutney with a hint of spiciness from the red pepper flakes.

I’m going through a phase. A if-it’s-not-grilled-then-I’m-not-eating-it phase. Did you see these pork belly BLTs? How about this grilled romaine salad? More smoked-pork-belly tacos? And now some amazing grilled hot dogs made with pork sausage and mango chutney and chipotle aioli. Yes.
How do you like your hot dogs? Ketchup and mustard? Relish and chili? Bratwurst? Sausage?
We used some local pork sausage we picked up at our nearby farmer’s market. I knew already what was going to happen next – chutney! Summer fruit chutney.
The mango pineapple chutney is my favorite part of this recipe. It’s super sweet with a hint of spiciness from the red pepper flakes. It’s also soft and warm and delicious. You can easily control your ratio of mango to pineapple to other stuff, especially if you want to tone down the sweetness. Which I know you don’t.

Hi Sarah.
This sounds amazing. I was wondering if you have ever ‘bottled’ this to preserve it. I’m in Fiji, and my mango trees are loaded at the moment. I would love to preserve this for year round use. I do freeze mango, but I’m in a rural area near Ba, and during our cyclone season (coming up), power can go off and be off for days to weeks, so freezing food can be risky. I’m going to try this with fresh pineapple, sultanas, and ground mustard seeds, as there are a lot of things that are hard or near impossible to get here.
Thanks for posting this.
