Hot Chutney Recipes

REAL HOT PEPPER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Cut each bell pepper into 8 long strips. Cut the strips crosswise into 1/4" wide slices.
• Remove the stems from the jalapenos and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut them crosswise into 1/4" thick slices(with seeds if you want this HOT).
• Stir the peppers and all the remaining ingredients together in a 4 quart microwave safe casserole.
• Cook, uncovered, at full power(650-700 watts) until thick, 20 minutes.
• If using the stove to cook, place all the ingredients in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook 30-45 minutes, until thick.
• This keeps in the fridge up to two weeks, covered.
• Makes 2 1/2 cups.
• You may place this in a canning jar, seal, and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

SPICY TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with water, and bring to a boil. Place tomatoes in boiling water, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until skins begin to crack and peel. Remove from water, cool, and peel.
• Puree tomatoes with ginger and garlic in a food processor or blender.
• Place tomato mixture, sugar, vinegar, onions, and golden raisins in a large saucepan. Season with mixed spice, chili powder, paprika, and curry paste. Simmer over medium heat until thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.

HOT ORANGE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Grate peel of oranges and lemon. Remove and discard all white pith. Cut fruit into quarters (reserve juices) and chop into cubes, discarding seeds. Peel, core and coarsely chop apples. Transfer all fruit and juice to a large heavy dutch oven.
• Add remaining ingredients and bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and continue simmering until mixture is thick, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle hot chutney into 6 clean, hot pint jars to 1/2-inch from top. Run plastic knife or spatula between chutney and jar to release any air bubbles. Clean rim and threads of jar with damp cloth. Seal with new, scalded, very hot lid. Repeat with remaining jars.
• Transfer jars to gently simmering (180°F to 190F.) water bath and process for 10 minutes.
• Let cool on rack. Test for seal. Store in cool dry place.
