I have a great recipe for Mango chutney. The hardest part is getting the mango flesh off the stone! I usually add a few raisins but they are optional.
3 large mangoes, peeled and coarsley chopped
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion (or any onion)
1 tsp. ginger peeled, grated
1/4 tsp. cardomon
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until mango is soft and most of liquid is absorbed. Stir frequently to avoid sticking. Pour into sterilized jars and seal tightly. Store in fridge after opening. Great with roast lamb or in sandwiches.
Home is where the heart is.
I usually have a jar of homemade pickled beets in the fridge. Beets are usually quite cheap, especially in winter when other vegetables are more expensive. They go well with all kinds of meat and other savoury meals.
Trim beets and wash. In saucepan, cover beets with water and simmer until fork tender. Drain and, when cool, peel and slice into 1/2cm. slices. Pack into sterilized pint jars. Add 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tbspn. sugar to each jar. For larger jars, increase quantities in the same proportion.
Boil, for 1 minute, enough cider vinegar and water (2 parts vinegar to 1 part water) to cover the beets and fill the jars. Pour over beets and seal. Store in fridge after opening.

Just got this recipe from a cooking show site. Haven't tried it myself but it looked really appetizing!
Winter Fruit Chutney
3/4 cup (175 mL) quartered pitted prunes
3/4 cup (175 mL) quartered apricots
1 onion, chopped
1 tart apple, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped, drained and seeded canned tomatoes
1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (60 mL) cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) ground ginger
1/4 tsp. (1 mL) each ground cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg
1/4 tsp. (1 mL) each salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper
In saucepan, bring prunes and apricots and 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 50 to 60 minutes or until thickened.

Jan, I saw this recipe, and I think I will try it - mmmm, sounds gorgeous - I also think it would make a good seller on your stall. 'Tis the season for strawberries (or should be!).
Chris, it is easily available in the shops in the UK!
It is the season for elderflowers at the moment, which is why I was looking for a recipe as there is a large display in the field currently - and there are lots of recipes available to make your own elderflower cordial – though I haven't tried to make it. (My daughter has made it and very successfully too.)
I found this – not sure if it is possible for you to buy in Toronto, but this is the same make as we have in the UK.
Sorry, I'm not being much help am I?
I have found this, Chris, apparently IKEA sell it (didn't know that!), but on this link there are other suggestions too.

Good Luck.
Am longing to get home to make my elder flower cordial. The trees were just starting to flower. It is very easy to make, once home I will dig out my recipe and post it.
Trying to enjoy life as it is
