Mango Ginger Pickle

Overview
Mango ginger as the name tells has the aroma of fresh raw mango. I never had mango ginger for a long time. Yesterday my friend gave me some from her backyard. I definitely had to make this pickle so took half of  it make this pickle and am planning to plant the remaining.  It is very simple pickle and has very less ingredients. As it ages the flavors get better.
