Herb Ginger Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Blend together all the ingredients with 4 tbsp water until very smooth and creamy - add only half a chilli to start with, as the heat varies a lot from one batch to the next. Taste and adjust the seasoning, lemon juice and chilli heat. Transfer to a glass jar and store in the fridge until ready to use. Will keep for 1-2 days.

Steps:

• Prepare jars, lids and bands.
• Peel, core and coarsely chop apples. Measure 3 cups.
• Combine prepared apples and remaining ingredients in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 40 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Ladle chutney into prepared jars leaving a 1/2 inch headspace. Using nonmetallic utensil, remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if required, by adding more chutney.
• Process filled jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Adjust time
• according to your altitude.

Steps:

• Place all the prepared onions and apples into a large preserving pan and add the remaining ingredients.
• Bring slowly to the boil and then lower the heat so that chutney cooks at a rolling boil.
• Stir the chutney regularly and make sure it does not "catch" and burn on the base of the preserving pan.
• Keep on cooking until the chutney is the consistency of a thick jam and all the liquids have dissolved.
• (A trick to check if it is cooked is to draw your wooden spoon across the chutney, if the space that is left fills up with liquid, the chutney is not ready yet!).
• Spoon the hot chutney into hot and sterile jars and seal immediately.
• Makes about 4 lbs chutney.
• Store in a dark and cool place and leave to mature for at least 2 weeks.
• Will keep in ideal storage conditions for up to 2 years+.
