Vinegar
2 cups (none)
Cinnamon stick
1 (whole)
Whole allspice
1 teaspoon (none)
Chopped mangoes

Instructions
1
In a large pot, combine the water, sugar, and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil to create a syrup.
2
While the syrup is heating, tie the cinnamon stick and whole allspice into a small cheesecloth bag. This will allow you to easily remove the spices later.
3
Once the syrup reaches a boil, add the spice bag to the pot and lower the heat. Allow the syrup to simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
4
Introduce the chopped mangoes into the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the syrup. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit until the syrup cools and the mangoes soften slightly.
5
After the syrup has cooled, carefully drain the syrup using a fine sieve to remove the spice bag. Reheat the syrup to a boil once again.
6
In a clean bowl, place the drained mangoes. Pour the hot syrup over the mangoes, ensuring they are completely covered.
7
Repeat the process of draining and pouring hot syrup over the mangoes two more times, allowing the mangoes to absorb the flavors. Remove the spice bag after the final infusion.
8
Prepare clean, hot jars for storage. Pack the mango pieces into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
9
Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation.
10
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
