Herb Ginger Chutney Recipes

CRANBERRY-GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a medium pot, boil the cranberries and 1 cup water until the berries start to pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and salt, and simmer for another 20 minutes.

GINGERED GOLDEN FRUIT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion, apples, and raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 4 minutes. Add ginger and coriander and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add brown sugar, vinegar, peppercorns, salt, and chiles (if using); bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is tender and liquid thickens, 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

OLD FASHIONED SCOTTISH APPLE AND GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Place all the prepared onions and apples into a large preserving pan and add the remaining ingredients.
• Bring slowly to the boil and then lower the heat so that chutney cooks at a rolling boil.
• Stir the chutney regularly and make sure it does not "catch" and burn on the base of the preserving pan.
• Keep on cooking until the chutney is the consistency of a thick jam and all the liquids have dissolved.
• (A trick to check if it is cooked is to draw your wooden spoon across the chutney, if the space that is left fills up with liquid, the chutney is not ready yet!).
• Spoon the hot chutney into hot and sterile jars and seal immediately.
• Makes about 4 lbs chutney.
• Store in a dark and cool place and leave to mature for at least 2 weeks.
• Will keep in ideal storage conditions for up to 2 years+.

GINGER-TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, brown sugar and ginger in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add tomatoes with juices and cinnamon. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until chutney is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon. (Chutney can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat or bring to room temperature before using.)
