Cranberry Kumquat Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the coriander seeds in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, shaking often, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel, fold to cover, then crush the seeds with a rolling pin. Return to the saucepan.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar, cranberries, kumquats and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, 18 to 25 minutes. (If the berries are not bursting after 15 minutes, gently mash with a spoon.) Let cool.
• Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Wrap kumquat seeds, cloves, and cardamom pods, if using, in a piece of cheesecloth; tie with kitchen twine to enclose. Place cheesecloth package in a large saucepan along with kumquats, orange juice, sugar, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, Aleppo pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook until kumquats are soft and translucent and mixture is thickened and jamlike, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Add cranberries to saucepan and cook until they just begin to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Sauce may be kept in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Put the cranberries and kumquats in a pan with 300ml/⁄½ pint water. Bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 5-6 minutes, or until the skins start to pop.
• Stir in sugar until dissolved, simmer for 4-5 minutes until thick and jam-like. Add stem ginger and more sugar if you like. Cool before serving. Relish can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Using on/off turns, coarsely chop cranberries in processor. Transfer cranberries to medium bowl. Mince half of kumquats, removing any seeds. Thinly slice remaining kumquats, removing any seeds. Mix all kumquats, sugar, and ginger into chopped cranberries (as mixture sits, sugar will dissolve). Cover relish and refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Cranberry relish can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover tightly and keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• Prick kumquats 2 or 3 times with a sharp fork. Cover kumquats generously with cold water in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse with cold water, then repeat 2 more times (to remove bitterness).
• Bring kumquats, sugar, and water (3/4 cup) to a boil in rinsed saucepan (liquid will not cover kumquats) over high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then reduce heat and gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool kumquats in syrup, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer kumquats with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving syrup in saucepan. Add cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon salt to syrup and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries burst, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
• While cranberries cook, quarter kumquats lengthwise, discarding any seeds.
• Stir kumquats into cranberry mixture and transfer to a bowl. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chutney thickens and kumquats are translucent, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Cool completely. Discard cinnamon stick. (Can be prepared 5 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring mixture to boil. Boil until kumquat skins are tender and mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer chutney to bowl and cool. Cover and store in refrigerator. (Chutney can be prepared 2 weeks ahead.)
