SPICED PLUM CHUTNEY



Spiced Plum Chutney image

Use cooking plums for this chutney, as they have a more definite taste than dessert plums when cooked. From 'the Basic Basics Jams, Preserves and Chutneys Handbook by Marguerite Patten. If you cannot find white malt vinegar, feel free to use brown malt vinegar.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs plums (weight when stoned or pitted)
1 lb apple (weight when peeled and cored)
1 lb onion
2 garlic cloves
2 1/2 cups white malt vinegar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground mixed spice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups sultanas (golden raisins)
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper (pinch)

Steps:

  • Halve the plums and remove the pits if possible -- if the plums are very firm then leave the pits in to prevent wasting any flesh. In this case, allow 2 1/4 lbs. in weight.
  • Cut the peeled and cored apples into small dice. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and mince the garlic.
  • Put the plums, apples, onion and garlic into the pan with 1 1/4 cup vinegar, mixed spice, curry, ginger and cinnamon.
  • Simmer gently until the fruits are soft. Remove the plum pits (if necessary)at this point.
  • Add the sultanas, sugar and remaining 1 1/4 cup of vinegar. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil steadily until the consistency of a thick jam, stirring occasionally.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, then spoon into the hot jars and seal down.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful plums: The quality of your plums will greatly impact the taste of your chutney. Choose plums that are ripe and have a deep, rich color. Avoid plums that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different spices to create a chutney that suits your taste. Some other spices that work well in plum chutney include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Cook the chutney until it thickens: The chutney is ready when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 30 minutes, but it may take longer depending on the amount of liquid in your plums. Use a large pot for cooking the chutney, as it will splatter.
  • Use the chutney as a condiment or spread: Plum chutney can be used as a condiment for grilled meats, fish, or poultry. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or crackers. If used as a condiment, serve the chutney chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Spiced plum chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So, next time you have a batch of ripe plums, try making this chutney. You won't be disappointed!
