Time 1h30m

Yield 6 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs plums (weight when stoned or pitted)
1 lb apple (weight when peeled and cored)
1 lb onion
2 garlic cloves
2 1/2 cups white malt vinegar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground mixed spice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups sultanas (golden raisins)
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper (pinch)

Steps:

  • Halve the plums and remove the pits if possible -- if the plums are very firm then leave the pits in to prevent wasting any flesh. In this case, allow 2 1/4 lbs. in weight.
  • Cut the peeled and cored apples into small dice. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and mince the garlic.
  • Put the plums, apples, onion and garlic into the pan with 1 1/4 cup vinegar, mixed spice, curry, ginger and cinnamon.
  • Simmer gently until the fruits are soft. Remove the plum pits (if necessary)at this point.
  • Add the sultanas, sugar and remaining 1 1/4 cup of vinegar. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil steadily until the consistency of a thick jam, stirring occasionally.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon into the hot jars and seal down.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful chutney, use ripe, juicy plums. Look for plums that are deep in color and have a slight give when you press them.
  • If you don't have any fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • To make the chutney spicier, add more chili pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • If you want a sweeter chutney, add more sugar or honey. You can also use a combination of sugar and honey for a more complex flavor.
  • Be sure to sterilize your jars and lids before filling them with chutney. This will help to prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Spiced plum chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served with grilled or roasted meats, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, spiced plum chutney is sure to be a hit!
