Plum Papaya Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the papaya, scrape out and discard the seeds and cut the flesh into 2.5 cm cubes.
• Toast the cashew nuts on a baking tray in a 180 C/350 F oven until lightly browned.
• Let them cool slightly and coarsely chop.
• Peel and finely chop the root ginger and garlic cloves.
• Halve, seed and chop the chillies.
• Put all ingredients into a preserving pan.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 30 minutes, or until the chutney has reduced and thickened.
• Spoon the chutney into warmed sterilized jars, to within 3 mm of the tops.
• Seal the jars and label.
• Keep in a cool, dark place.
• The chutney can be used immediately but it improves if stored for 2 weeks before using.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients, except the sugar, into a large pan and stir well. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 mins, until the plums are tender.
• Stir in the sugar plus 2 tsp salt and keep stirring until it has dissolved. Boil the chutney for 20-30 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent it catching on the bottom, until it is thick and pulpy.
• Pot into sterilised jars (see Know-how, below), seal, label and store for at least 2 weeks before eating. Will keep for up to 6 months in a cool dark place.

• 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.
