Fresh Grape Chutney Recipes

GRAPE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a saucepan, place mustard seeds in oil and cook until they pop. Add whole cloves, star anise, and curry leaves. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Next, add grapes, raisins, allepo pepper and pomegranate seeds. Stir ingredients to mix, then add grape juice and vinegar. Cover and simmer slowly over low heat until grapes soften, but hold their shape. Finish with the pine nuts and salt to taste.

APPLE & GRAPE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry frying pan until aromatic. Tip into a mortar and coarsely grind with the pestle. Toast the mustard seeds in the same pan until they start to pop, then add to the other spices. Tip the spices into a large pan with the chillies, onions, ginger and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the onions are softened.
• Add the chopped apples, grapes, sugar and 1 tsp salt, and bring to the boil, stirring. Boil hard, stirring from time to time, for about 15-25 mins until the mixture is thick and pulpy.
• Pot into warm sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
