Chilli Peach Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add peaches; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add sugars, raisins, molasses, salt, pepper, allspice and 5 tablespoons of vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and remaining vinegar. Serve at room temperature with ham, pork or poultry. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425F and roast the red pepper (the chillies too if you want) until the skin is blackened. Put into a plastic bag (or wrap in plastic) and leave for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the peaches and chop really small (unless you prefer it chunky) and put into a large saucepan with the onions, mustard seeds and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
• Peel the skin off the red pepper and deseed (peel the chillies too if you roasted them). Chop the red pepper and chillies finely (a food processer works best here), and add to the saucepan.
• Add 10 oz sugar and some salt and simmer the mixture until it has the consistency of runny jam.
• Taste and add more salt if needed. This is the point to add more sugar, if needed, and some lemon juice to taste.
• Pour into warm sterilised jars, cover and leave to cool before refrigerating.

Steps:

• Chop chillies and onion.
• Simmer all ingredients stirring regularly to prevent catching, until a nice rich brown colour.
• Bottle into sterilised jars, put lids on when cold.

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven two-thirds with water; bring to a boil. Cut a shallow "X" on the bottom of each tomato and peach. Using tongs, place tomatoes and peaches, a few at a time, in boiling water for 30-60 seconds or just until skin at the "X" begins to loosen. Remove tomatoes and peaches; immediately drop into ice water. Pull off skins with tip of a knife; discard skins., Coarsely chop tomatoes and peaches; place in a stockpot. Add onions, pears, green peppers, celery, jalapenos, sugar, vinegar and salt. Place pickling spices on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth to enclose spices; tie securely with string. Add to stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Discard spice bag., Carefully ladle hot mixture into five hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight., Place jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 20 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a preserving pan or large wide saucepan. Add the onions and fry for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the ginger and cook until soft, another 1-2 mins.
• Stir in the spices for 1-2 mins to release their aroma, then add the peppers, vinegar and sugar. Simmer for 10 mins until the sugar has dissolved and the peppers are starting to soften.
• Stir in the sultanas and peaches, and simmer for another 45 mins until the chutney is pulpy rather than watery. Leave to stand for 15 mins; then, while still warm, pot into sterilised jars. Will keep for 3 months stored in a cool, dark place. Transfer to the fridge once opened and eat within a month.
