Basic Chutney Recipe
This basic chutney recipe is more of a formula than a recipe. There is tons of flexibility in the different fruit and veg you use, as well as in the different types of sugar, vinegar and spices you decide to go with.
Prep: 25min
Total: 115min
Yield: 2
Ingredients:
- 500 grams apples
- 500 grams onions
- 1000 grams any other fruit or vegetable (which could be more apples and onions)
- 160 grams raisins or other dried fruit
- 350 grams vinegar (I like using cider or malt)
- 350 grams white sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons spices
Instruction:
- Peel and core the apples
- Peel the onions and prepare the other fruit and veg you are using.
- Chop all fruit and veg in a food processor, or by hand, depending on your level of patience.
- Transfer the fruit and veg to a large pot, add the vinegar, sugar, and spices.
- Stir well with a wooden spoon, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency—approximately 90 minutes.
- When your chutney has thickened and your jars/lids are sterilized, bring everything over to a cleared space in your kitchen to start jarring.
- Using a clean stainless steel ladle or serving spoon, carefully spoon the hot chutney into the jars almost to the top—making sure to keep the rims of the jars clean. If any chutney drips onto the jar rim, simply wipe it clean with a tea towel. A stainless steel jarring funnel is helpful here, but if you don’t have one, you just need to be extra cautious.
- Once the jars are filled, screw the lids on tightly. You should start to hear them pop as they seal naturally over the course of an hour or so.
- Store in a cool dark place until ready to enjoy!
