Time 1h15m

Yield One cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons, sugar
1/2 cup water
1 lemon, cut across into 1/8-inch-thick slices, each slice quartered
3 medium ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 large shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place 1 teaspoon of the salt, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the water and lemon pieces in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer slowly for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving the lemon pieces and the liquid.
  • Bring a medium-size saucepan of water to the boil. Add the tomatoes and blanch for 10 seconds. Pull the skin off the tomatoes and cut them into large dice. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the shallots and cook until soft, but not brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, the remaining sugar and 1 tablespoon of the reserved lemon liquid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is thick, about 35 minutes. Stir in the lemon slices, the vinegar, remaining salt and pepper. Let cool and store in the refrigerator.

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

This chutney is a great gift idea. I always make a few jars to give to my friends and family for Christmas.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes in the summer and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this chutney. The lemon and ginger flavors really balance out the tomatoes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chutney turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This chutney is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili next time.

I love the versatility of this chutney. I've used it as a marinade for chicken, a dipping sauce for samosas, and even as a spread on sandwiches. It's always delicious.

This chutney is a delightful blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. It's the perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish, or even just as a spread on crackers.
