Sweet And Spicy Tomato Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with water, and bring to a boil. Place tomatoes in boiling water, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until skins begin to crack and peel. Remove from water, cool, and peel.
• Puree tomatoes with ginger and garlic in a food processor or blender.
• Place tomato mixture, sugar, vinegar, onions, and golden raisins in a large saucepan. Season with mixed spice, chili powder, paprika, and curry paste. Simmer over medium heat until thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook mustard seeds, shaking pan, until they start to pop, about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 5-8 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook, stirring often, until mixture is very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sugar, both vinegars, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and 2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add tomatoes, increase heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates and mixture is thick (you should be able to see the bottom of the pot when you drag a spoon through it), 40-50 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and cayenne. Season with more salt if needed.
• Do Ahead
• Chutney can be made 1 week ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cilantro, chili powder sugar and salt. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and saucy, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the chopped garlic, ginger and 1/2 cup of the vinegar into the container of an electric blender and blend at high speed until smooth.
• In a 4-quart, heavy-bottomed pot with non-metallic finish, place the tomatoes and juice from the can, the rest of the vinegar, the sugar, salt and cayenne pepper (or, if you prefer, add the cayenne at the end, a little at a time, stirring and tasting as you do so).
• Bring to a boil.
• Add puree from blender.
• Lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until chutney becomes thick.
• (A film should cling to a spoon dipped in it.) Stir occasionally at first, and more frequently later as it thickens.
• You may need to lower the heat as the liquid diminishes.
• You should end up with 2 1/2 cups of chutney, and it should be atleast as thick as honey after it cools.
• If the canned tomatoes you used have a lot of liquid in them, a longer cooking time may be required, resulting in a little less chutney.
• Add the almonds and the raisins.
• Simmer, stirring, another 5 minutes.
• Turn heat off and allow to cool.
• Bottle.
• Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Put the sugar, salt, cardamom and tomatoes into a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until it has reduced and thickened significantly, 45 minutes to1 hour. Let cool slightly and stir in the cilantro and onions.

Steps:

• Chop tomatoes and bell pepper.
• In a medium saucepan bring vinegars to a boil with sugar, salt, mustard seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring occasionally, and stir in tomatoes, bell pepper, and scallions. Simmer mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently toward end of cooking), about 1 1/4 hours, or until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Cool chutney completely. Chutney keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Place garlic, ginger and 1 cup of the vinegar in a blender container and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into sauce pot with remaining vinegar and the rest of the ingredients through cayenne. (If unsure about the heat level, use only half the cayenne; then taste after mixture cooks for a while before adding the other half.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to prevent scorching. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until mixture begins to thicken and become slightly syrupy. Sitr occasionally to prevent sticking. After about one hour of cooking time, stir in the raisins and almonds; continue cooking to desired thickness.
• When chutney is done, ladle into sterilized 1-pint jars and process according to instructions. Alternately, let jars cool completely and store in the refrigerator. Chutney will keep for several months.
