Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 cup imported dry Sherry
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole star anise*
1 cup 1/2-inch dice dried mango (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1 cup 1/2-inch dice dried papaya (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup 1/2-inch dice dried pineapple (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup raisins
Pineapple juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into heavy medium saucepan. Add bean, Sherry, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Add all dried fruits; return to simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer until Sherry is almost evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in enough pineapple juice by tablespoonfuls to moisten chutney. Transfer to bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. (Chutney can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Remove vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks, and star anise from chutney. Mix in mint and cilantro and serve.
  • *Brown star-shaped seedpods; available in the spice section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Asian markets.

This chutney is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this chutney. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover fruit, but it's not something I would make again. The flavor was just okay.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chutney turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This chutney is a great make-ahead dish. I made a big batch and it's been keeping well in the refrigerator for weeks.

I love the combination of dried fruits in this chutney. I always have a hard time choosing just one, so it's great to have them all in one recipe.

I love the vibrant colors of this chutney. It's so inviting and cheerful. The flavor is just as good as it looks - sweet, tangy, and full of tropical fruit flavor.

Amazing! This tropical chutney is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, with a wonderful depth of flavor from the dried fruits and spices. I served it with grilled chicken and rice, and it was a huge hit!
