Apple Plum Chutney Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put all but one cup of the plums into a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add the vinegar and sugar. Set heat to medium high and when the vinegar has begun to simmer, turn the heat down to medium low and cook for about 15 minutes. Add all but one cup of the apples and the crystallized ginger and cook another 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • When the fruit mixture has begun to break down and become softer and more sauce-like, add the spices, tied either in a small cloth bag, a piece of cheese cloth, or a coffee filter and stapled together. Make sure the spices get under the fruit mixture and the bag or cloth gets wet with the juices. Continue cooking, at medium heat, until the mixture begins to resemble a thick applesauce-like consistency (you might want to raise the heat a bit to move things along).
  • Take the remaining one cup each of apples and plums and chop them a bit. You’re looking for a rough, relish-like consistency here. Add this mixture, along with the minced red onion, to the chutney and cook for another 10 minutes, until the additional fruit has become warm and fully incorporated (for a smoother, more sauce-like mixture you can skip this step, adding all the fruit at the beginning and reserving only the onion, but I like a little consistency to my chutney).
  • Chutney can be preserved in sterilized canning jars, processed in a hot water bath, or kept in the fridge and eaten within a week or so.
