Warm Blackberry Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• The chutney needs to go into sterilized pint jars. The easiest way to do this is to put them and the lids in the dishwasher on the hottest cycle to wash and dry. Take them out when you are about ready to use them and don't touch the insides of the jars with your hands. Alternatively, put the jars and lids into a very large pan of boiling water and boil for a couple of minutes before taking them out to dry on paper towels. You will also need to boil the equipment you use to take the jars out of the pan. At this stage, the jars can be placed into a low-temperature oven to dry. Make sure they are not cracked.
• Put the apples, onions, sugar, vinegar, cinnamon and black pepper into a large pot over medium heat. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples and onions should be lovely and soft and the liquid should be thick and syrupy.
• Add the blackberries and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes.
• While the chutney is hot, use a sterilized ladle to fill the sterilized jars. Put the sterilized lids on and set aside to cool. Store in a cool, dark place. The chutney will keep for up to 4 months.

Steps:

• 1. In a large saucepan, mix the frozen blackberries and sugar. Cook on high heat until the fruit defrosts and syrup starts to form, about 15 minutes.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium and add thyme. Continue cooking uncovered for until mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
• 3. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Serve chutney warm, topped with thyme leaves.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, except the vinegar, in a large saucepan. Stir mixture over medium heat until the blackberries burst. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the vinegar and allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 10 mins. Cool, transfer to a sterilised jar and seal immediately.

Steps:

• add blackberries and cook 4 mins, stirring now and then.

• NOTE I have made this with the addition of 3 tbsp Port or Brandy and it was none the worse for it!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil onto a large baking sheet.
• 3. Slice baguettes crosswise in 1/2-inch slices and lay slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over slices. Sprinkle slices evenly with salt and bake until crispy and golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes.
