Categories     Boil

Yield makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup kumquats, thinly sliced
1 cup diced unpeeled Meyer lemons
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Place a small dish in the freezer. Combine all of the ingredients with 2 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat and cook on a low boil, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and bring the chutney back up to a boil. Uncover and increase the heat so the chutney boils rapidly for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and place a few tablespoons on the frozen dish. Replace the dish in the freezer. After 5 minutes, nudge the chutney with a spoon or your finger. If it has the proper consistency, it's done. If the chutney is still runny, continue to cook for another few minutes, then test it again. To store in the refrigerator, let the chutney cool to room temperature. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
  • VARIATION: Citrus Marmalade
  • For a delicious, easy marmalade, leave out the onion and vinegar, and use just a dash of salt. The ginger is optional.
  • Basic Canning
  • Canning is a straightforward process that experienced veterans can do instinctively. It's fun and easy, but because detailed procedures must be followed in order to prevent the growth of toxic bacteria, you should first learn from an experienced canner or study one of the books recommended in the Resources section (page 194) if you want to strike out on your own. Describing the full canning process, which results in foods that can be stored at room temperature for up to a year in a cool, dark, place, is beyond the scope of this book, so the preserve recipes that follow are ones that can be stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 months.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chutney turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much grapefruit.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I always have a few oranges and grapefruits lying around, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus fruits, but this chutney sounds so good that I'm willing to give it a try. The spices sound like they would balance out the tartness of the citrus nicely.

This chutney sounds like the perfect way to add a bit of brightness to a winter meal. I'm definitely going to make it this weekend.

The combination of grapefruit, orange, and lime gives this chutney a unique and refreshing taste. It's not too sweet, and the bitterness of the grapefruit balances out the sweetness of the oranges and limes nicely.

This chutney is a delightful burst of citrusy flavors, blending sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy notes perfectly. It's a fantastic accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish, and it also adds a wonderful depth of flavor to curries and stews.
