Tomato Chutney Preserve With Cashews And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Place the green tomatoes, tomatillos, raisins, onion, brown sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice, chili powder, crystallized ginger, and brown mustard seed into a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat, and simmer the chutney until thickened, 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep chutney from burning on the bottom.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the chutney into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 to 20 minutes, or the time recommended by your county Extension office.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Any uncanned chutney can be refrigerated or frozen.

Steps:

• Wash and core tomatoes. Cut them into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Peel onion and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Combine tomato and onion wedges, raisins, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan; cook over medium-high heat until tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, sprinkle tomatoes with sugar, mustard, and salt, and stir well to combine. Continue cooking until tomatoes are almost completely broken down and juices are thick and syrupy, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Place all ingredient except the raisins into a heavy saucepan. Simmer, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thick and syrupy--about 45 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins and cook for another 5-10 minutes until plump. Note that chutney will thicken as it cools (it will become the consistency of strawberry jam once it cools).
• Pour into clean jars, cover and refrigerate for up to three weeks. Alternatively, freeze or pour into sterile jars and seal---keeps up to one year.

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a heavy, medium-size stainless steel pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, add the cumin and mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, add the fennel seeds.
• A few seconds later, add the tomato puree, ginger, vinegar, sugar, pepper flakes and salt. Stir and bring to a simmer. Once bubbling, turn heat down to low and cook, uncovered, stirring now and then, for about 50 minutes.
• Add the raisins and cook another 10 minutes. The chutney should be thick and have a glazed appearance. Put the chutney into a jar, allow to cool, and then screw the lid on and refrigerate.

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:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large non-reactive wok or saucepan over medium heat and cook the ginger, garlic, green chili peppers, fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds, stirring until golden, about 1 minute. Add the cashews and raisins and stir until the raisins expand, about 1 minute.2. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper and cook, over medium-high heat for the first 2 to 3 minutes. Then cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the tomatoes are very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, and simmer, uncovered, until semi-thick, about 15 minutes. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.) Serve immediately or let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, about 1 year.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
