Dried Fruit Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• In large saucepan, combine all ingredients & bring to boil.
• Reduce heat & simmer, uncovered 20 minutes, or until mixture has thickened.
• Ladle into hot sterilized jars & seal immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy 6-quart pot over moderately high heat until it shimmers and cook the cinnamon, star anise, and cloves for 1 minute. Add the brown mustard seeds and chile. When the seeds pop and are fragrant, after about 30 seconds, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the orange juice and apple cider. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the cherries, dates, zest, ginger, apricots, cranberries, fennel, yellow mustard seeds, and vinegar. Briskly simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the fruits are softened and tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in salt to taste. Let the chutney cool completely before serving. The chutney keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Steps:

• Put the fruit into a medium heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the pomegranate juice, water, and salt and bring to a simmer. Add the tea bags and simmer for about 40 minutes, until liquid has been mostly absorbed.
• Remove the tea bags and discard. Stir in the pecans and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to heavy bottomed saucepan and heat over low, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
• Turn the heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes or until the fruit is cooked and thick. Check periodically to see if more liquid is needed.
• If time allows, use proper methods (check with your local cooperative extension office) to can the chutney and let sit for 6-8 weeks.
• Otherwise, cool and dig in!

Steps:

• Halve, stone and chop the plums (about the same size as you would for an apple pie - not too big, not too small). Drop them into a large saucepan. Core, peel and chop the apples and pears in the same way. Peel, stone and chop the mango. Put all the fruit in the pan.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, onions, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, coriander, crushed chillies and salt into the pan, then drop the cinnamon stick on top. Heat slowly for about 20 mins, giving an occasional stir, until the sugar has dissolved. Now leave the chutney to simmer at a steady pace, without a lid, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened, but still with a nice balance of syrupy juice. This will take about 1½ hrs. You don't want to cook it until all the liquid has gone, as it will thicken once it cools. Discard the cinnamon stick.
• Using a heatproof jug, pour the chutney while still hot into sterilised jars. It will keep for about a year in a cool, dry place.

Steps:

• Soak the apricots overnight, remove from the water and chop into small pieces.
• Put all the fruit and onions in a pan with the vinegar.
• Wrap the chillies and ginger in a piece of muslin and secure.
• Put the muslin bag in with the fruit and vinegar.
• Simmer until the apples are mushy, stirring often.
• Do not allow to stick and burn.
• Remove the muslin bag.
• Add sugar and boil for a further 10 minutes, until chutney thickens.
• Stir often to prevent sticking and burning.
• Pour into hot jars, tie down and seal when cool.

• Remove the pan from the heat and ladle the chutney into either 1/2 pint or pint jars that have been sterilized filling to within 1/8 inch of the top; put into a boiling water bath for 10 to 15 minutes then remove from water and let cool before storing; refrigerate any jars where the lids didn't seal.
