Gingered Fig And Mango Chutney With A Bite Recipes

Steps:

• Pop the mango, while still in the container, into the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• While the mango is freezing, wash the mason jar and lid thoroughly.
• In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, add ginger preserves and cayenne pepper. Once the preserves begin to boil, turn off the heat and pull saucepan off to the side. Stir in frozen mango and salt. When the chutney is at room temperature, pour it into the jar and cover with a lid. Place in refrigerator.
• Chutney will last up to 1 month in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Uncover the pan and continue simmering for about an hour and a half, stirring often, until the chutney is reduced, thick and richly flavoured. If the chutney becomes too dry, add a splash of water. Taste and correct the seasoning, adding brown sugar, vinegar, or chilli flakes as needed. (Sometimes, depending on the water in the figs, this chutney can take over 2 hours to reduce.).
• Spoon into sterilised jars and seal. The chutney will keep for up to 8 or 9 months, unopened, in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 4 weeks.

Steps:

• Grind the whole allspice, whole black pepper, and black cardamom seeds. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has thickened to form thick syrup. Then simmer for 60 more minutes. Stirring often toward end of cooking to prevent burning.
• Optional: Save 2 cups of chopped fruits and pepper to add halfway through cooking for a chunkier chutney.
• Remove the cinnamon sticks and ladle into hot sterilized jars until 1/4 inch from the top.
• Seal with lids and set the jars in a pot of hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Label and store in a cool dark place for 3 weeks at least for flavors to develop.
• Makes 8-9 1/2 pint jars.

Steps:

• Tip the pineapple into a food processor, then pulse until finely chopped. Tip into a large, wide pan with the apples, ginger, onion, figs, spices, vinegar and 2 tsp salt. Bring to the boil, stirring, then boil for 10 mins until the apples are softened.
• Add the sugar, then stir to dissolve. Simmer for 20-30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the chutney is thickened. Pot into warm sterilised jars, seal and label. Will keep for 6 months.
