Stir in vinegar, raisins, lemon juice and sugar. Heat slowly to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until liquid thickens and becomes syrupy and mangos look transluscent, stirring frequently.

Release trapped air. Wipe rim of jar with a clean damp cloth. Attach lid and place in canner. Fill and close remaining jars. Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath. To serve, garnish with parsley sprig and lemon peel, if desired.
