Plum Pear Cranberry Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, mix all ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered about 1 hour, stirring frequently, until thickened.
• Cool 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve chutney at room temperature for best flavor. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine apples, pears, onion, vinegar, sugar, cherries, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it bubbles, reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the cooking, make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more chutney if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients, except the sugar, into a large pan and stir well. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 mins, until the plums are tender.
• Stir in the sugar plus 2 tsp salt and keep stirring until it has dissolved. Boil the chutney for 20-30 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent it catching on the bottom, until it is thick and pulpy.
• Pot into sterilised jars (see Know-how, below), seal, label and store for at least 2 weeks before eating. Will keep for up to 6 months in a cool dark place.

Steps:

• Combine first five ingredients in a medium sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup.
• Stir in cranberry sauce, heat through, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Add the onion, apple and pear; cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat; stir in raisins and lemon juice.
• Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before serving.
• Just before serving, stir in the walnuts.

Steps:

• Cook onion, garlic and wine in a skillet for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not let onion brown.
• Stir in the diced pears, cranberries, sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
• Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water with the 1/2 cup of sugar to a boil and boil cranberries until they pop, usually just a few minutes. Be careful not to over boil or they will be mushy.
• Add all other ingredients except raisins and mix well. Let set in fridge at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• Stir in raisins just before serving.

Steps:

• Put garlic, onion, cranberries, vinegar, spices and 3/4 cup brown sugar in a 2 1/2 quart nonaluminum saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 40 minutes.
• Add the chopped pear and cook 10 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat and add remaining sugar, to taste. (I usually do not).
• Serve hot, cold or room temperature. May be refrigerated for up to one month.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine the cranberries, the brown sugar, the raisins, the pears, the zest, the gingerroot, the red pepper flakes, the onion, the vinegar, the mustard seeds, and the salt and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the berries have burst. The chutney keeps, covered and chilled, for 2 weeks. Serve the chutney at room temperature.
