Apple Plum Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the apples, onion, ginger, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, pepper flakes and salt and in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Take off the heat and add the raisins.
• Set aside to cool and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring the mixture to boil.
• Turn down heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour. The mixture should be reduced to about half.
• Sterilize the jar and lids.
• Fill and seal jars and process in boiling water bath for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the plums, apple, brown sugar, orange juice, Port, cinnamon, star anise, mace, and salt. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, place in the oven, and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and syrupy.
• Remove from the oven and discard the star anise and cinnamon stick. (Be careful; I wrap a kitchen towel or oven mitt around the handle of the pan to remind myself that it's very hot!) Mash the fruit roughly with a dinner fork. Serve at room temperature or cold with cheese and crackers.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over a medium heat, then simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for 30-40 mins, or until thick and pulpy. Remove from the heat, leave to cool and transfer to sterilised, clean, dry jars and seal.

Steps:

• Finely grind star anise, clove, and cinnamon stick in spice mill or coffee grinder.
• Combine spice mixture, vinegar, sugar, ginger, mustard seeds, and pepper in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and bring to boil. Add plums; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chutney thickens and chunky sauce forms, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Cool. Season to taste with salt.
• *Available in the spice section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Asian markets.

Steps:

• Mix plums and sugar together in a heavy-bottomed stockpot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture turns to liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir salt, ginger, chili powder, cloves, and cinnamon into the mixture. Cook over low heat until desired consistency is reached, stirring often to prevent chutney from sticking, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if needed.
• Mix vinegar into the pot and cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for 5 minutes more. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 weeks.

Steps:

• Combine cooking apples, soft apples, onion, ginger, sugar, salt, hot pepper flakes and cider. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until soft apples start to break down.
• Stir in plums and simmer for 5 minutes longer or until plums start to soften and chutney is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in basil or mint.
• In clean canning jars, pour hot chutney into jar, inserting a narrow spatula gently into the jar to remove air bubbles. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 days or up to 1 month.
