Yield Makes 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds green tomatoes (about 12 medium), diced
2 yellow bell peppers, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced
2 Vidalia or other sweet onions, finely diced
1 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 sticks cinnamon (each 3 inches long)
1/2 cup cider vinegar

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.

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.

Yield Makes 6 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large bunch mint, roughly chopped
4 pounds green tomatoes
2 yellow onions (1 pound), finely diced

Plunge into ice bath. Using a paring knife, peel off skin and discard. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Cut tomatoes into 3/4-inch chunks, and set aside.
