Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (1 1/2-inch) piece cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
5 whole allspice
3/4 cup diced (1/4 inch) cantaloupe or honeydew, or a combination
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons dried currants
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
Special Equipment
a 6-inch piece of cheesecloth; kitchen string

Steps:

  • Wrap cinnamon stick, cloves, and allspice in cheesecloth and tie with string to form a bag. Crush spices gently in bag with a rolling pin or bottom of a heavy skillet.
  • Bring melon, apple, sugar, vinegar, currants, ginger, cheesecloth bag, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until syrup is thick and most of liquid is evaporated, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard cheesecloth bag and cool chutney. (Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.)

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chutney didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chutney was a bit too runny for my liking. I would cook it down for a longer period of time next time.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a few apples and melons on hand, so this chutney is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This chutney is so versatile. I've used it as a condiment for grilled chicken, as a spread for sandwiches, and even as a glaze for roasted vegetables.

This melon-apple chutney was a delightful surprise! The combination of sweet melon, tangy apples, and warm spices was perfectly balanced. I served it with grilled chicken and rice, and it was a hit with the whole family.
