Spiced Stone Fruit Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Combine fruit, brown sugar and water in a skillet and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add orange juice and ginger, curry powder and a pinch of ground cloves. Simmer, reducing mixture to desired thickness.
• Partly cool, then stir in raisins and toasted nuts (like macadamia), and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all fruit in medium bowl. Add sugar, vinegar, and garam masala; toss gently. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature to allow juices to form and to blend flavors, tossing occasionally. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Serve chilled or at room temperature. * An Indian spice mixture; available in the spice section of many supermarkets and at Indian markets.

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.
