Fruit Chutney

Ingredients

  • 2kg apples or plums or tamarillos, peeled, cored or stoned, then chopped
  • 500g onions, chopped
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 4 cups Chelsea brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cloves or mixed spice
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups malt vinegar, approximately

Method

  1. Put the fruit, onions, raisins, garlic, sugar, salt, cloves or mixed spice and cayenne pepper into a preserving pan. Add enough vinegar to almost cover the fruit.
  2. Bring slowly to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Simmer gently for 2 hours, stirring frequently. The chutney will be thick and jam-like.
  4. Pack into sterilised jars and cover tightly. Keep for at least 2 weeks before using.

Can you mix different fruits together or should you just use a single fruit type each time.

Strawberries sounds great too.

Reply from Edmonds:

You can definitely mix different fruits together – it’s a great way to use what you’ve got and create your own flavour combo. Just keep the overall fruit weight the same as the recipe and you’re good to go. Strawberries would be a lovely addition, just keep in mind they’re a bit softer, so pair them with firmer fruits like apples or pears for a nice balance.

Always use this recipe for my Feijoa chutney…. It never fails and tastes yummo!
