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:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for a few mins until starting to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, increase the heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the peaches have softened - this will take about 45 mins. Meanwhile, sterilise your jars (see tip, below).
• Transfer the chutney to the jars, seal and leave to cool before eating. The chutney can be stored in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within 4 weeks.

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, stir together the peaches, raisins, garlic, onion, preserved ginger, chili powder, mustard seed, curry powder, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Wrap the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag, and place in the pot.
• Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat uncovered until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 1/2 hours to get a good thick sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
• Remove the spice bag, and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.

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.
