CHERRY CHUTNEY



Cherry Chutney image

I live in the Columbia River Gorge. So many cherries are produced in a very short period, that during cherry harvest, farmers sell pounds of the stuff. I created a savory recipe because there's only so much cherry pie and ice cream one man can eat!

Categories     Condiments

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds cherries (pitted and halved or chopped*)
1 1/2- cups onion (chopped)
1 to 1 1/2- cups honey (to taste (I use 1 cup with sweet cherries))
1 3/4- cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup raisins (chopped**)
3 large cloves garlic (minced)
1 lemon or lime (zested and juiced***)
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger (or 1 tablespoon dry ginger)
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon salt (start with the 2 tsp. and taste test at end of cooking)
1/2 to 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (to taste (we like things spicy, so 2 teaspoons is our choice - adjust as needed))

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients to a large pot (6 qt. or larger) and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to cook at a soft boil (about medium-low). Stir often as the chutney reduces, cooking for about an hour. It is ready when it's reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 and has a thickened consistency.
  • While the chutney is cooking, prepare your canning jars, lids and pot according to these directions. You will need to wash and keep 4 to 5 pint jars or 9 to 10 half pint jars warm. (You can also choose to freeze the chutney if you don't wish to can - simply add it to freezer containers leaving 1-1/2 inch headspace.)
  • When the chutney is reduced and thickened, turn the heat to low and ladle the chutney into each prepared jar with a 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims, attach lids and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner. Remove to a towel-lined surface and let sit for 12 hours before checking seals, labeling, and storing in a cool, dark place.
  • Canned condiments like chutney should be used within a year to a year and a half.
