Steps:
- Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Set over high heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until mixture has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove cinnamon sticks. At this point, chutney can be cooled and served, or canned: Ladle chutney into clean canning jars, and wipe excess from rims; screw on lids.
- Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using canning tongs, gently place jars in boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars (if not, pour in additional water to cover). Let jars sit in gently simmering water for 10 minutes. Remove; let cool slightly. Check seal by pressing in center of lid. If it doesn't pop back, it is properly sealed; if it does, return jars to water for 10 more minutes. Let sealed jars cool completely.
- Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Opened jars will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

GREEN CHILE CHUTNEY
In her cookbook, "Chaat" (Clarkson Potter, 2020), the chef Maneet Chauhan refers to this bright, spicy chutney as a "workhorse staple in the Indian pantry." She uses it primarily in chaat, but also drizzles it on top of roasted vegetables, dollops it onto soups and spoons it over scrambled eggs. This chutney "makes virtually any Indian recipe taste better," she said, with its harmony of lively, complex flavors, such as chaat masala and asafetida. Like a lot of chutneys, it also includes toasted dal, which brings nuttiness and a little texture. -Priya Krishna

Steps:
- Heat a small cast-iron skillet over high until nearly smoking. Add the dal and toast, swirling the pan the entire time, until it takes on a light golden-brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the dal to a bowl or plate to prevent it from overtoasting.
- In a food processor, combine the toasted dal and the rest of the ingredients and blend until quite smooth. (It will still be a little chunky.) Blend in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve a thick consistency that holds together on a spoon and is not runny. Season with additional salt and lemon juice to taste.
- This chutney will keep refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week. After that, the vivid green color will begin to lose its vibrancy, though the chutney will still taste delicious for a full 2 weeks.
CHICKEN CURRY WITH GREEN APPLE AND COCONUT CHUTNEY
Steps:
- For Chutney:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce the "eyes" of the coconut with ice pick. Drain off liquid. Bake coconut until shell begins to crack, about 30 minutes. Tap coconut shell all over with hammer to remove shell. (The white meat with its brown skin should fall away from shell; if it doesn't, use paring knife to release meat.) Using paring knife, cut away brown skin, if desired. Rinse coconut. Coarsely chop enough coconut in processor to measure 3/4 cup (reserve remaining coconut for another use.)
- Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes (do not burn). Transfer seeds to plate; cool. Finely grind seeds in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle.
- Core apples; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place apples in medium bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Combine 3/4 cup coconut, cumin, apples and all remaining ingredients in processor. Chop finely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.
- For Curry:
- With processor running, drop garlic, chilies and ginger down feed tube and process until minced. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until brown, adding 2 tablespoons water during last minutes of cooking to prevent burning, about 10 minutes. Add chili mixture and 1 tablespoon water; sauté 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and peppercorns; stir 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons water, bay leaves, coriander, cumin, cayenne and turmeric; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and salt; cook until almost all the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces 1 at a time, turning to coat in tomato mixture. Add 1 cup water. Cover; simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 40 minutes.
- Spoon rice onto plates. Top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with chutney.

At the end of this summer I had about 13 lbs of green tomatoes that I salvaged from my garden. In looking for uses for them, I found several chutney recipes. This one was my favorite that I tried. Adapted from a recipe found on simplyrecipes.com. Lovely as a condiment on chicken, pork, seafood, even hot dogs! Also great with a little cheese on a cracker or tortilla chip.
