Tanzanian Green Tomato Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Simmer all ingredients in a small covered saucepan for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes (you can skin them if you want, but it's not necessary). Finely chop the onions. Layer both in a large bowl with the salt. Leave overnight.
• The next day, chop the sultanas using a large, sharp knife, then peel, core and chop the apples. Put the sugar and vinegar into a large pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the sultanas and apples and simmer for 10 mins. Strain the tomatoes and onions in a colander (but don't rinse), then tip into the pan and return to the boil.
• Simmer for about 1 hr, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and pulpy. Transfer to warmed jars (see tips, below) and cover with lids.

Steps:

• Put layers of tomatoes the with pickling salt.
• Add enough cold water to cover tomatoes.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain& rinse the Tomatoes.
• Put them a large pot place and add Onions, apples.
• green pepper and vinegar.
• Bring to a boil and boil 30 minutes.
• Tie the pickling spice in gauze and add to the pot.
• Stir in the brown sugar.
• Simmer over low heat for about 2 hours.
• Watch that it doesn't burn!
• Pour into sterilized jars, seal and water bath for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Finely chop the tomatoes, apples and onions. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Cover and leave somewhere cool overnight.
• Strain off the resulting salty juice and discard. Put the remains of the onion, tomato, apple mix into a pan and add the vinegar, spice, mustard, ginger and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1½ hours, stirring occasionally. You will know when it is ready because the chutney will start to become 'thick' in texture.
• Turn off the heat and leave it in the pan to cool. Once it is at room temperature then decant it into clean storage jars, seal and put to one side for use. This can be eaten immediately after cooking, but you will find that the flavour improves if left for a few weeks in the jars before eating.

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a medium sized (about 4 qt) thick-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove lid and simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken.
• Note: If desired, this recipe can be canned by processing filled (sterilized!) jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Recipe will fill six 8-oz jars or three 16-oz jars. Otherwise, chutney will keep in the refrigerator for a few months.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, and gingerroot. Stir in sugar, vinegar, salt, paprika, red pepper, and cloves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the mixture is thickened; stir frequently. Stir in the raisins or currants and the almonds; heat through.
• Remove from heat and cool. Pour into a container; cover and label. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a preserving pan, then add the onions and let them gently soften for 10 mins. Add the garlic, spices and bay, and cook for 5 mins more until fragrant.
• Tip in the tomatoes, apples and half the vinegar, then simmer for about 15 mins or until the tomatoes and apples are soft. Add the rest of the vinegar, then the sugar, dried fruit and salt, and cook gently until the sugar dissolves.
• Turn up the heat a little, then bubble the chutney for about 1 hr 30 mins, or until it is thick and jammy. When ready, you will be able to drag a line across the bottom of the pan without the chutney flooding back straight away. The timing can vary depending on the water content of the tomatoes. Remove the bay leaves before potting the hot chutney into hot, sterilised jars.
